Lantern

Here's a poem that I wrote yesterday. I guess it can be considered slam, but I HATE slam, so forget that. Anyway, it's probably one of the shortest things that I've written, but I like it a lot. Enjoy.

Lantern
By Adam Gonzales

And so what if a merciless vapor encircles its fingers around me?
Your fingers are bright and can tear through the night and on that I am counting

An angel's rapport can give nothing more than being a counter
And so for you I will wait, a more timelier date, my dear yellow lantern

For though courage I lack, it's patience I have and your voice will keep me
Afloat and aloft, a beautiful face, so pristine and lovely
