Odd Thoughts: A Collection of Quick Reads

I Fell in Love

I met a girl with pearly white teeth,

And skin as pale as the moon,

And jet-black hair as straight as a bullet.

And I fell in love with her.

I also met a boy with a rough, crackling voice

And leathery skin well-tanned,

He seemed rough at the edges,

With a heart made of gold

And I fell in love with him.

Within my mind that boy met that girl

And they didn't get along at first.

She was cold towards him,

But started to warm up.

He was too persistent,

But learned to give her space.

And they fell in love with each other.

I fell in love with a girl,

I fell in love with a boy,

Not in my heart,

But in the story, I painted for them.
