My Red Post Office



Nestled in the heart of a weebit town
She sat smiling, satiated
Aglow with the blush of sundown
My red post office

Lost in an eternity,  of an era bygone
With her wrinkled wood windows
She shone out the soft sunrays of dawn
My red post office

Crowds milled around her, just walking by
With her boxy off-white doors
She waited, lips open with a gentle sigh
My red post office

I kissed the letter I wrote, on paper blue
Four folded in an package pink
And nudged the doors with the hinges askew
Of my red post office

Cause I love through poems, stories and folklore
With a golden nib and blue black ink
So I wrote his name and sighed some more
In my red post office

My love was waiting, wistful, alone
In a bubble of suspended time
For my dried tear drop, hugging the stone
Of my red post office

I stamped my love and kissed my goodbyes
Handed it to the letter man
Now each day I will soak in the waiting eyes
Of my red post office.....
