Atop a Balcony
By Anthony E
I saw her atop a balcony
Her smile, soft as a feather
Leaning on the railing
Holding the planet together
I admired as the sun set
At which it then occurred
The beauty of a setting sun
Was nothing next to her
I took a sip of liquid courage
I took a step towards fate
She exists in my memory
For I took a step too late
What could of been, might have been
My soul will never know
To the beauty on the balcony
Oh, I loved you so!
