The Rim

Thank you for any comments! They are greatly appreciated! :)

The Rim

Itchy black hat shields my vision

Forcing my eyes to drag a cursory glance Traveling

Up Tan Cargo Pants Drinking

In Blue and White Plaid Wincing

As even teeth glint

Dimples Wink At

Mine Until

 I meet eyes that echo The

 Shout in mine

“Beautiful!”

Botticelli’s Venus Locks cushion

My hearing

Of Sound Waves Of

Rich laughter, Strong

Voice Rippling

 Toward pink conch shell ears

 “Who are you?”

An ill-fitting uniform disguises My

Full body blush

As each inch of naked skin feels another As

Long slim fingers that mirror mine Caress

The dimples on my back Four

High tops sloppily kiss As

 We twirl in our friendly embrace

“It’s nice to see you again…”

Imported Coffee beans Perfume

Masking my nervous sweat

Smelling instead Chai

Tea Lattes,

Americanos Nuzzling

My neck for a caffeine fix

“Take a shot with me…”

My brain houses Neruda,

Cady-Stanton

Whispering of Self-Sufficiency and Romance Down

A synapse, Marvin’s singing “Only love can conquer hate…” Phobos

Freezes time in Neruda’s room:

Always Half-past a Break Up and a Quarter to Giving Up

Smoothing out my white shirt, blue coat I

 Order A Carmel Macchiato with

One ice cube in it Milk

 Steams screeching Distracting

Dull textbook reading Familiar

Chucks greet my cursory glance Dragging

 Up to eyes that echo the whisper in mine

“Beautifully Flawed…”

“Its nice to see you again…” Marvin’s crooning

“I’ve been trying to fight this feeling for so long…” The

Ice cube melts…Kissing

The rim…
