Walls

Folder: 
Shorties

I stroll through the alleys between buildings
My hands are at my side,
tapping,
itching for an answer

And looking back at you,
you were never really mine

to begin with

I have taken a walk to clear my head
and when I get back,
I will paint these white walls red

Specifically,
I will paint all the walls we made our love on
to remind you,

it must have meant something

this is short

but it resonates volumes...
I think so highly of you as a poet

you know I have a folder... "WORLDS GREATEST POETRY copywrite 1904"
your poem"Cedar Trees" resides there....
that poem is one of the best poems
that I have ever read bar none

Peace

Thank you Dylan. I was aware

Thank you Dylan. I was aware of the folder and my poem being in it and it is a true honor. I hope you have a wonderful holiday next week and an even better new year.
