How To Write Poetry: Kaleidoscopes
Kaleidoscopes
You had me at good bye
Time flies. I'm doing good.
Likewise?
Such a pleasant surprise
That your path and mine
Collide in kaleidoscopes
I'm ashamed that I took
You for granted
I hope you understand
That a man can grow
Your voice is tie dye
The hue of cologne
Still in a bottle
It smells good
With no where to go
I'm doing well
Tho' I often wake to
The scent of wedding bells
Wafting through shallow wind
I was afraid before
I heard shadows tip-toe
As tears fall from my ears
My eyes fill with your lullabies
Violins in the background
Painted in portraits
Play to the silence
Left in your absense
Don't be a stranger
Or close the windows
To your soul
Before I get
To know you
Nobody is perfect
The words on your
Cheek taste different
Only the mirror
Feels familiar
