No idea of this, not an inkling
Crying her hazel eyes out
Because I am missing
I yell Mommy
But she cannot hear me...

an inkling of jealousy
her being too darn cute

The trickling of a flame
Was calling out my name
And saying that I am the night

The other day -- my umbrella

The after-rain from the trees

I was the only one on a stroll
Still umbrella'd, looking droll...

From a question to a statement
Now for certain, I love you...

Why he donned those as horns he’d no inkling.

A thing comes to mind immediately, involves many moans

Methinks I have an inkling
It involves two torsos and ignoring your iPhones...

  The glow of stars twinkling
I gaze up at her window
  Though my love has no inkling

Of the ache in my heart
  Only her silhouette can cure ~
I'm no part of her thoughts
  All the more her allure...

Hand held in hand
With our families weeping behind us
We were off to save the land

Off to save the country
Which I was proud to call my own
Off without an inkling
That I would come running back alone...

Even through the shadows, there comes an inkling
Coloring hopes with feelings, blessed by the light
Softly whispering through the loosened darkness
Known by a promise to the kindest of hearts...
