Elizabeth St Hilaire Poet Free verse

One Little Hope

I’d give you my breath,
I’d break records
I’d plunge to my death-
I’ll write you songs and sing them to you over intercoms



I’d pierce the moon with diamonds and gold and tell it to rain on you till your old and hold you in my arms and sing you those songs to your FACE

IVE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE AND YOU TO GAIN

HOLD THIS UMBRELLA WITH ME IN THE RAIN

OR LAY IN MY BED And listen to the rain

hit the tin roof over our heads

I’ll paint your toes—— and who knows
I
maybe I’ll let you paint mine
L
I just want to be with you forever

Baby I’m tryin

Every day the traffic home the breath I take when you’re on the phone
A ton of s fall of my shoulders —

like- let’s just kick back when we get older
Somewhere in the Florida sun
Well wear hoodies at night, sit outside and listen to our wind chimes - it’ll be fun

And all these plans could change tomorrow
So if I see you go another way,, I’ll just follow

Because it doesn’t matter where we go
Our souls together- ....that’s home !

And when we fade into the sky our children will keep us alive and continue to walk down the path we paved

Because of one little hope that we saved...
