To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.


You left me standing shocked
near to the open window
with the flowing curtains
as you flew away from me again.

 

Peter, please show up at my window.
You left me still with numb
when you whisked me away
and said those words to my heart.

 

You left your shadow behind
and it's you that causes me
to stir in my sleep
and think of you in my dreams.

 

You gave me a kiss
in a form of an acorn,
when I was in your arms
and it's what's saving my life.

 

As we fly next to each other,
our hands are close
but not quite touching
as we hide in the shadows.

 

Your laughter makes me laugh
and makes me suddenly wish,
I could give you your thimble
in a form of a kiss.

 

But I'm scared,
you'll fly away from me again
and fly away out of my view,
always off to adventures.

 

So quick, so nimble,
but would you be quick to understand
the look in my eyes
when you take me to Neverland?

 

Peter, show yourself,
I need you now more than ever.
Come into view,
I'll come away with you.

 

I want to stay with you,
right here forever more
in the Neverland sun
in the arms of my Peter Pan.

I think this is a Valentine and love poem and also, a song. Haha, I don't know.

 

Inspired by a original song called, 'Peter Pan.' Also, inspired by my thoughts and Valentine's day! Hip, hip, hooray! Nah, sorry for the lovey dovey poem I wrote today. :p

 

Here's the link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ok0XbD2OrE

Aw, well. You're welcome, haha. I thank you for commenting on my poem. Your comment made me smile and happy. This is one of my favorite poems, just because I saw it like from this angle from my own love story and it means a lot to me. Haha, if that makes sense. So, your comment means a lot. :) Thank you so much, @Nightingale74! I'll always remember your comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed reading it. :)

I really love how you took the story of Peter Pan that we all know, and told it from a slightly different angle. And then you used that as a symbol to tell your own love story. Very creative haha :) I think it's beautiful how you were able to give the simple, lovable story of peter pan a depth that I had never thought of before...so thank you for posting this!! :) I really enjoyed reading it :D
