Must I Entitle?

End the beginning.
Those trite, empty phrases
from your empty mouth
only have meaning
when actions speak louder
than the words that come out.

Let's bypass the introduction;
the prologue is nothing
before empty, bounded pages.

We'll buy a loft in Seattle.
Rent is late,
but the view is breathtaking.
I'll read you scary ghost stories,
turn out the lights,
and say, "I love you tonight".

  1. Interesting imagery, I especially like the empty, bounded pages. Why Seattle?

    I was just daydreaming. Mmm.
