Lonely Rhymes

Today I thought I looked pretty

It must have been a trick of the light

I can't fall asleep in this city

I wish that you'd come stay the night.

 

Last week I talked to you for hours

Then saw that your eyes were glazed

I sat in a field full of flowers

And I pretended that I wasn't fazed.

 

Yesterday I thought you might care for me

After that slight smile in the hall

I know that I fall far too easily

And that smile meant nothing at all.

 

Tomorrow I guess I'll feel guilty

For even just thinking of you

But if you ever called me pretty

I think that I'd feel it was true.

    How beautiful!

    The way it blooms

    red juice dripping from

    ripened fruit:

    her eyes, black velvet

    silver on her nails

    a mouth that curls

    when it says my name.

    What desire! I inhale her mind

    Are you apprehensive of the new sphere you are about to enter?

    Because I fear

    For the warm skin
