Joseph May's Choose A Line 3 Contest...4 June 25
Swish of ripples weave along a ledge...my hands pretending to rap beneath inked stars ; while soft winds chime a lonely chorus filling the shoreline with empty rhythm and blues; the ones which lightly twitch my heart-- Every note jangling, crawling in this stained night... for the love I know best gushes out, unnoticed and aloof, still I pray " by the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find" him...as mine: seasons pass like long processions that in final screams of angst, I learn to dance alone... First Place

Such yearning, such loneliness. Unrequited love leaves the heart eternally broken. Hey, maybe he'll show at the eleventh hour! Who knows?
