fool i was for you...

Contributed by metro on Thursday, 14th October 2004 @ 04:00:28 AM in AEST
Topic: Nostalgic

mon infidelite, couverte dans peau...

because he never called to say hello at 3 am,
falling asleep to talk radio, science-fiction fantasies...

because he couldn't play piano (and i hated him for that)...
because he never sang to me from stages lit with
blue haze, velvet always -
because he never sang at all unless
he knew i wasn't listening...

because he spoke only english, no matter the words...
because there were no french seductions in his smile,
a smile seen only by street cars, cab drivers
and girls with black hair, bold voices, boyish frames...

because he never took me to lunch at the market,
wine tastings or concerts in clevland -
jazz music and bottled merlot, fermented,
deep-staining my lips (the want i had for yours)...

because he was standing right in front of me...
because he didn't have another lover of his own...

because i was a fool... a fool i was for you -
sitting silent in the back row,
wishing to have known you before you were famous...
wishing to have known you before...

wishing to have known you...

the shallow thoughts of a shattered mind-frame -
wishing now that i could have his never often,
and give your always back to you...

I liked this one a lot. I loved the way it flowed, and told a story. Good job!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
