Captive Canticle

Captive Canticle
David J Walker

Imagine her always dressed as summer
Perpetually blown from day to day by
A youthful song  and 
I could have been the singer…  or
I could have been the distant canticle
Sung on her bedside radio 
Strewn in rose petal  expectations of the
Perpetual journey of the protagonist in
A love poem who will never be seen 
Beyond the next tomorrow

The chapter ends and she remains
The captive canticle of the book
