I was asked
I do not read minds
but have paid others
to tell me where my jacket is,
the size of the sword
above my shoulder,
the scent of the candle
you lit in my absence. When I die
I will come back, I know I am
one of those that linger, watch,
observe the present
for signs of the past,
think of the future
for split seconds.
I can be such a tart, a well-balanced
meal,
a sour drink
your favorite slice of cheesecake-
you be the warm apples
and I will be the pie.
Top us off with the universe’s ice
cream and dabble in bizarre
metaphors
while I am drunk off caffeine.
Yes, too much of it
and hence the trivia questions,
the sleeves of tattoos
with no meanings.
Angels have no wings
even if you call me one
I know you poke fun
with your poker face. Lies
are convincing,
deceit a shaded charcoal
of my first art class. Yes,
I rode a motorcycle
and was that girl, with a sketchpad
and a journal.
I was asked to write
a poem
about myself
where
nothing is true
I do that already,
I replied.
I lectured on Canadian Literature
I have done more
than you googled
or is written
so much goes unwritten
unsaid
announced
so much is detached
from this microscopic world
of fine hairs.
I leave mine messy
and forget my brush
on purpose.
What happened
to all those questions
you never asked?

Great poetic passage. I am enjoying your novel too!
Wow thank you, I’m so excited you like it. You’re amazing. Please let me know which novel of yours I should start reading first…you have so many! send me link please.
Thank you, Chrissy. I really think you would like my contemporary romance/psychological suspense LIVING IN A SHADOW. www.amazon.com/dp/B00AP68CUO I would really appreciate your opinion.
Ok thanks! That’s the one! X:)
I think it will resonate with your strong, sensitive poetry. It also has an undercurrent of the writing industry. Oh, btw, love the new picture on your blog. It’s perfect!
Sounds like it’s right up my alley. Thank you!
