a poem that is not about you by ~insideruby:iconinsideruby:



this poem
  is not a poem about
you.


it is a boring poem
  a poem of mundane
day-to-day things, like
toothbrushes and broken
buttons and leek
  and potato soup.


it most certainly
is not a poem about the way
   your smile fills
my heart with the taste
of caramelized pears and
how your voice vibrates with
a frequency that shocks electricity
   through my synapses and
awakens the lilac and golden
      butterflies that live in a
cage of spun sugar and sparkles
in my stomach.


it is not a poem
  about the little
universes that pulse in
       your irises,
nor is it a poem concerning
the curve of your cheek or
those two freckles that
     are hidden when you
smile.


no, this poem
  is definitely not
     a poem about
you.

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator 1830 - 1890
