"As You Wish"

Wrote this during lunch. Post watching 'Princess Bride' early that morning with some friends. So I was thinking about it and thus behold! enjoy!

Hopeful eyes alight
As the unconscious stream
Of ‘would be’s’ and ‘what if’s’
Pitter off into a trench of
Forgotten finality

Invisible fingers grab
Onto lips and eyebrows
Like a puppeteer raising
The strings of its own
Melancholy marionette

Silence shatters into a
Thousand pieces of glass
Reflecting a pair of lips
Ready to burst with words
Poised with promise

“As you wish”
