I wonder if romance is dead...

        I wonder if romance is dead

        Or if it’s merely sleeping

        If somewhere in the

        Depths of time

        It slumbers

        Waiting

        For a

        Rhyme

        To shake the torpor

        Dust the heart

        Type the script

        Prepare to start

        Adopt a stance

        A smile

        A glance

        A gentle kiss

        I miss

        I miss

        These things now seem so fleeting. 

        I wonder if romance is dead

        Or if it’s merely sleeping?
