First Poem in a Long Time
OK, this is a rough draft of something that came about after a rather depressing trip to a grocery store. Will it ever be more than a rough draft? I have no idea. I like its setup, but I definitely know it could use some work. Nonetheless, here it is.

At the Other End of the Cereal Aisle
Out of the corner of my eye
she looked just like you.
Tall and long blonde hair
(You didn't have to look at her
to know she was beautiful).
My heart skipped a beat;
could you really be here
in the same place as me?
Was this fate
or happenchance
that you might be so close?
Could I say hello
maybe rekindle the fire
that once burned inside?
Or should I move along
knowing she wasn't likely you
anyways.
I told my heart not to hope
yet hope it foolishly did
as I turned to look her way
hoping she might be you.
My heart and my hopes sank
and again
I had only myself to blame.
