I cannot see through
the hole of your pupil
nor read the lines of your palm
I don't know your emotion
if you're frustrated, shy or calm
I cannot hear your whisperings
that stroll from heart to brain
I don't know if you see me the same.
I don't know what you're thinking
when you half smile like that
I don't know how to pick up intonations
of your voice in simple chat
I don't know how you dream
or if you dream of me.
But I know I always wonder
whether I'll solve your mystery.
Oh and oneword.com for the title :)
So I've just got back from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which was really fun :)
I handed out some cards there with my blog link so if you're here because of that, thank you so much for taking the time to see this. I apologise if I bothered you. Feel free to leave your comments. Or don't. Whatever :) Just thanks again really.
Anyway, on to today's poem.
Heart beat
quick
smile
shy
try to find
confidence
your eyes
tell myself
things will be
fine.
Maybe not
talking to me
but look
acknowledge
is there any
possibility
that you think
I'm pretty?
I don't know
the answer
or you
but I could dream
that's all I can do.
I don't know
if you're looking at me
but I'm trying
to look at you
subtly
so maybe
you're doing the same.
In the corner of my eye
I wish to find
you
looking at me
in the corner of your eye
a smile on your face
I wish to find your arm
brushing mine
you'll be kind
and have the same smile
and all the while
you'll be thinking of me
always in the corner
of your mind.
