A Ladybug Dream Love Poem by JOE POEWHIT

You were dreaming - for a
million years. Thats -
what it was to me.
Let me have that dream,
'Please'
It belongs to the both of -
us now.
Your dream reminded me.
Then, I cried, because I -
Didn't know you before.
Like a missing pedal of
a flower - you were.
Or maybe - a tear that
never really cried.
A baby bird from its nest.
It's first kill - a lady bug.
Don't cry - There are many -
'ladybugs'.
BUT - It's like the missing pedal,
'from that flower'.
Lets both dream of spotted flowers-
'like ladybugs'.
Tears will only water the dream.
