More Than Fate...

I wrote a new poem tonight that I wanted to share with you. Those of you that know me know that I've written maybe half a dozen poems in the last ten or so years. That's an average of one every other year. With the exception of "When Silence Speaks" that I wrote for my Grandfather a year after he passed away, every poem was the result of a muse. Yes, a beautiful woman I was pining over. Tonight's poem is no exception.

Allow me to present to you my latest creation:


More Than Fate
© 2008 Aaron Matthew Kaiser

It wasn't that he wanted to
Nor was it that he tried
But as he thought about it
This couldn't be denied

Burrowed into consciousness
Thoughts of her all the time
It was as if he committed
Some seriously heinous crime

But this was not punishment
Or a sentence to carry out
Rather t'was a blessing
Something to truly shout

He could close his eyes and see
Her golden tresses flow
And her ruby lips kissing his
Beneath the Christmas bow

Her sparkling eyes enchanting
Every fiber of his soul
No matter what happened next
He wouldn't let her go

She haunted all his waking thoughts
And most his dreams as well
Hardly could he believe
How quickly that he fell

He talked of her with all his friends
This news to all he shared
And the more he thought about her
The deeper that he cared

And he hadn't even met her
For that, he had to wait
But it was clearly obvious
This pairing was more than fate
