Outfit

Finding myself
Wearing some ridiculous
Lampshade to subdue the light
I cannot easily disguise

I wonder
If a love like that exists

I’ve seen that man
You know the one
Crying outside your window

Shouting “Take me back!”
Drenched from the rain

Always wishing one day he’d
Be asking for you until the
Moment that he did

Dreading what could come
With him and would come
If you let him in

Where was the charming
Poetic boy
Full of fire and indifference

Outside dripping with life
A chance taken for feelings
Granted on the inside

A scratch

Both parts succumbing
Never contending
Correspondent to the rare
Combination

A poetic knight
Shining disarming
A gamut for life
Cooked up in a soup
Made of ginger and dreams
One that I have been sipping on

A quiet observation
Coming and going
Looking out the panes of glass
Heart throbbing

Grasping at a future
Full of memories
Written once and for all
In a newspaper that will
Again be delivered
On the morning
Of a second birth

Fresh and ready
For intimacy

Window

My normalcy is electronic
Insanity world crashing down
No video stalemate a wall
Most vulnerable and
Succulent for the taking
I stood at the window
Of my back porch
Barefoot and oblivious
Repeating
What’s next!
What’s next?
Many of us want to be
Held I’m sure today
I felt that way a bit more
Like I was hoping to
Crawl back into bed with
Someone or even bolster
Up some gladitude
Knowing I had nowhere
To be or go but back into
Some silly situation
In a messy bed
But the grey sky
Offered me many delights
Knowing that if not today
Some other
