will you please sit down
the Chardonnay of truth can
make you feel dizzy
If only we could
all that we needed
was to keep egos in check
if only we could
damp dangling tresses
iridescent pearls
against the black satin spread
damp dangling tresses
A portrait
I keep staring at
a portrait of who she was
don’t know who she is
All I need is you
when I am alone
forlorn and disappointed
all I need is you
Out of reach
her visage
tantalizingly
out of reach
Under a soft flame
heart simmers
under a soft flame
of your gaze
Predictable shapes
my dreams take
predictable shapes
just of you
The real me
foggy old mirror
serves me an ultimatum
self or a selfie

Escaping ordinary
a lifetime trying
escaping ordinary
all quests end in you
