Love
i had a love affair
with words before
but they failed to
touch me
the silent page
could not keep me warm
on the cold windy
mid-nights
emotions were sparked
the intrinsic body
of work was spoken
with each syllable
however, the heartbeat
that was desperately
trying to find its rhythm
could not syncopate
a full blooded gentleman
could never be formed
despite my imagination’s
pleas, even with a please
oops
you saw a mess
in the corner
i meant to clean that up
just for you
pristine presentation
is what i wanted to show you
now
i cannot mask the dirt
i am not ocd with my emotions
just protective of its looks
appearances appeal to the senses
at least that's what I’ve heard
minimalism was the idea of my design
interior decorator that was I
I wanted to share the best of my light
so please forgive me
for that smudge
next time,
it will not be there
