I have been having these moments…
Waiting for trains
pouring kettles
folding sheets
opening a window
I have been having these little moments…
flicking through magazines
prowling the off-license
glancing up at street lights
looking out across the city
When the magnitude of your potential
and all the things you said to me
when the poetry you quietly dedicated
and the soft touch of your deft hands
upon my pale body
left me reeling
spinning to infinity
I’m caught off-guard, thinking
I would love to read you
I would love to hear
your thoughts
once more
I would love to read those verses
lose myself in your passionate prose
I would love to bathe in your insight
once again
I wonder if
I wonder how
Is there some way
to read you
once more…
