PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I am easily startled

Unsure if this charm has some ulterior motive

That grin surely isn't for me

I am a wallflower

A shadow's shadow

The moon in a muddled sky

I peek through the clouds, stealing a glance

fascinated by your slender fingers 

As they tug on a loose button

You catch my eye

"What's that you're reading?"

I truly have no idea

I've been pretending I was the moon

And this book a cloud

Good God

I said that aloud
