hallucinations
Once he saw my eyes
and left me blinded
by his look.
I told him jokingly I would be
his Brooklyn Baby from Montreal,
but he never listened to Lana
as closely as I always do
and
my boyfriend was singing on stage.
I’m too old to love him; I’m to cold to hold him;
I’m too sweet to know his bad-ass;
but he holds my feathers
and sees right through me.
transparent, he whistles, as I walk past him
then he holds the door open for me.
follows me to the sortie
and is gone
but he
watches me smoke
i thought he was gone,
as i stare at the stars
ignoring the chatter
of who wanted to know
how i shared my mind with the world.
i have no choice
i say, i’ll die if i don’t.
he waves from across the street
and i wondered if it was
my mind
hallucinations again
playing tricks on me.
pass the bourbon, i said,
once the dark became light,
serious, intent on getting so drunk
that i wouldn’t reflect
on the exact blue of his eyes
and why the specks
even mattered at all.

“I think we’re like fire and water
I think we’re like the wind and sea”
I love that song…and Lana….and this beautiful piece of art where you have woven yourself into the music and become part of the tale being told.
Please keep sharing your mind with the world.
Wonderfully done, Christina!
She’s a powerful force, and so are you!
Even to be compared to her is an honour. Seriously, I am touched you feel that way.
“I’m too old to love him; I’m to cold to hold him;”
This really resonated with me, once the sexes were turned around. I loved this piece Chrissy! Great work!
thanks Jarrod xx
I like the reference to Lana’s Brooklyn Baby song. I also enjoy the reverse scenario where she’s older than the love interest. Very poetic writing that evokes some lovely imagery.
