My Perfect Ending
Leslie Stanley
No rose petals
champagne bottle
kisses or
cuddles in the sheets
Not a carriage
glass slipper or
castle in the sky
I do not like aimless gowns
a long staircase to grace down
or a weighted ring
I do not want
rain pouring
clouds parting
Then sun shining
Just this boy
Absolute sure
dark hair
blue eyes confessing
Over coffee
love
With no words
