"I dream of a happy ending." by Alena Peacock

I dream of a happy ending.
Perfect and unyielding.
A quiet love,
so loud,
its deafening.
Where I would not ever have to question their affection.
I'd be so sure of this love,
anxiety would dissipate.
One filled with faultless words of promise, burning with hope.
A brilliant,
irreplaceable light,
matching mine.
An almost planned,
adventurous future,
that I could see in their eyes.
Eventually,
this ending will find me.

About the Podcast

One Poem Only
I'm Maggie Devers, and each day I'll read you a poem-nothing more, nothing less. No analysis, no noise-just a little space to listen.
A daily reading. A quiet moment. One poem, center stage: just for now, just for you. A one-night-only show, in verse.

Come back tomorrow. The curtain rises again.
