i often
wonder
if fictitiouscreatures
found
their way
to fruition
if their characters
would stay true
to whom they were
in whatever movie
book or play
they\’d first
been showcased
expression
consumed bright optics
open wide with the
knowledge of a familiarity
that comes to those who
strive to unite
all the stage actors
who\’d feared they\’d been
abandoned at the darkest
of times — a hero comes
with a sparkle so grand
it diminishes any weighted
shadows that carry with them
an eternal depth of despair
that right there is a love
worth the endurance
of tragic trajectories
when you can only
take one glance
and know
this really
is forever
