When you discover/
you’re just an object as a/
lover, you feel strange.
Or
lover, you should object.
You ask for romance./
Should I take a chance with a/
sweet verbal caress?
I face
and embrace
my fear.
It’s being a motivator,
not a regulator
nor intimidator.
For in staring fear down
I find
I don’t drown.
I open my mind.
Why do we have to/
stop talking about you? You’re/
tres’ intéressant.!
I always wondered
what it would be like
to awake from night’s slumber
with a movie star by my side.
I couldn’t wait to see,
so I took a mirror to bed with me!
Must I always be/
one who starts conversations?/
Should I be patient?
You are my sunbeam,/
my only sunbeam. I dream/
of you, sunbeam stream.
She stood/
on the verge/
of opening./
Facing the great chasm/
and depths of life,/
she clung to him/
who explained/
everything./
As she leaned forward/
to leap/
into the abyss,/
hoping a net would appear,/
feeling secure/
that he would not let her/
fall,/
he took a phone call./
So she, feeling spurned,/
turned/
and ran,/
again,/
back to her safe place,/
and put back on her bland face,/
and hid.
