A Few Questions

youngandnaive

I have a question.
Quite a few actually,
You may believe I'm strange
For this, and yet
Here I am.

 

I wonder;
Do I suit a fruit-bowl hat
Or short brown hair?
Did you mean it when you said
I didn't look like that?

 

Disclose this;
Are the plastic parrots
That you so softly place in my hair,
Worth to you as much
As they are to me?

 

Tell me;
When your hands
Gently grip my waist,
Or my hand,
To pull me up onto wet rocks,
Do butterflies take flight in your stomach too?

 

Answer this;
When my arms wrap themselves
Around your neck,
And my legs cling on
Tight to you,

When you carry me on your back
And run,
Past lamp
After lamp,
Do you feel as elated as I do?

 

I need to know;
Do I cross your mind
A few thousand times a day
Like you dance across mine?

 

Do even think of me
At all?

    Contemplative, slightly sad - an engaging write - I hope he finds out pretty darn soon. Great work.

      I have the same problem with a daughter of my best and I feel in love with her the moment I met her, but, it was soon very apparent I was wanted and it hurt, it still does and having her be my neighbour things are really tough. you poem has brought the emotions back. thank you for sharing your poem.

        I do like the way you wrote this, like the structure. Some guys are a little slow in 'getting it', maybe it is time you pushed your luck a bit.

          Thank you! I suppose it is time, but I'm nervous as you might expect haha

          I love the way you posed your questions. I think all of us have questions we are dying to ask and feel that we can't. I'd ask one if I were you!

            Thanks! Maybe I will, I'm just afraid of the answer!
