i don’t know you

robin jayne

i cannot tell if it is genuine infatuation

or you are simply just stringing me along

for i am none the wiser, a fool

either way

i am down for the chase

i can surely make pace alongside you

some have credited me with too much

they say i’m talented at the art of perception

but something about you feels wrong

you are difficult to read

they say

the eyes are the window to the soul

but i honestly couldn’t tell you

what color yours are

and i’ve never been gifted at eye contact

yet i could stare into yours all day long

    Brilliant!
    really appreciate how centred you poetic voice is becoming, a lot less wasted lines in your poetry;
    instead, favouring that acutely succinct delivery
    of a blossoming wordsmith, whose learnt to identify
    and accept, the veracity of your instinctive creativity
    no need, for lengthy meaningless explanations, as pre-emptive excuses
    or those, because-of - clauses
    in your poetry,
    just you, at one with your wholehearted ink
    and owning your poetic expression..
    a beautiful tone, to identify in a promising Poet's palette;
    thank you! for choosing to share
    (please forgive me if you find offense with anything I've said above, I meant well)
