Old poem…breathe in
I walked alone today
Like almost everyday
Its not that I want someone
To walk with
I want to walk with you
Close to you
Almost invading your
Personal space
Just the way we both like it
It’s raining
And the rain makes me
Realize even more how
Alone I am on this day
My hood is up
I’m all wrapped up
I appear to be warm
But I’m frigid
As the raindrops just
Keep on falling
On the roof of my hood
There are leaves
Plastered on the ground
Most of them bright orange
And others yellow
The rain just keeps on
Pounding on them
Making them stick
To the ground even more
By the minute
The rain is the glue
That forces them to
Experience the earth
As they lie on the ground
Cold, wet, even soggy
They don’t budge
I often stop to wonder
Are they really content
Being stuck right up against
The ground and all its moisture
Suddenly I am jealous
They are experiencing life
Life that I may never get to know
I am jealous of their interaction
With the earth
I do not want
The plastered leaves all to myself
They are better left on the ground
To soak in whatever they’ve been missing
As the rain just keeps on pouring
They are better off lying there
Surrounded by other leaves
Just like them
No I do no want
The plastered leaves all to myself
I only want you to be as close to me
As the leaves are to the ground
I only want our love to be the glue
That not only sticks us together for now
But for always
I only want you to soak me up
As much the leaves are
soaking up the moisture from the sky
I only want
To have you right by my side
Stuck close to me
So you can see and feel
The intense love that I feel for you
And the beauty in my eyes
That maybe you’ve never seen before
