On A Silver Platter

Chris Curasi

I wish for dreams to come true
I wish for you to wake me
But I will continue cuddling your smile
Your whispers
Your ingenius eyes
Your unconfined presence within me
until then...

The world may not give it's consent
It can not comprehend the innocence
It longs to throw it's gavel
I do not search to be a hero
You are all the hero I need
I never longed to prosecute the narrow-minded
until now...
