Quietly
Sitting
Listening softly
Conversation playing out
Jumping from topic to topic
Hearing stories
Silently
Watching

Silently
Watching
Observing carefully
Hand gestures further explaining
The emotions: amazement and concern
Absorbing information
Quietly
Sitting

Her
She is small
But her heart is big.
Her eyes are blue
And innocent.
Her imagination is wild
And ***** you in.
You watch her.
You care for her.
How can you not adore her?
How can you not watch out for her?

The radio flickers
On and off
The stairs creak
The doors tremble
The rocker squeaks
The windows rattle

The grass of the hills
Whispers back and forth
The clouds whimper
The sky darkens
The animals burrow
The wind screams

The storm begins
Destroying house after house
The children cry
The dogs hide
The parents hush
The foundation cracks

The morning brings
Story after story
The reporters discuss
The families shatter
The banks thrive
The people protest

And the world remains the same

Who,
Who on earth am I
To blame you
For the things
I, myself
Have done?
For simple humanity
Gives us stupidity
Stronger than the faith
Of our trusting,
Bolder than the hope
Of our stricken.

Yet you,
You wreak havoc
Inside my heart
Because of your carelessness,
Because of your unawareness,
Because of your cluelessness,
Because of your obliviousness.
So if I
Am able to lay blame
On you;
How can they blame me?
How can they blame you
For the same?
Is it clear?
Am I clear
To you?
Can you tell
What I am thinking?
Can you guess
My intentions?

Or
Am I a mystery,
A question mark?
But why,
Why on earth
Does it matter?
Why should I
Get hooked on
What you think
Of me?
After all,
This is humanity
Where we find
Little value
In ourselves.
So how,
How can I
Expect to find
Someone who
Finds value
Not only
In themselves
But also in me?

Is that
Too high
To put my expectations
For you?
Or is it too low?

Tired
She speaks freely
Surprised
She receives a response
Smiling
He answers her
Pleased
She mutters to herself
Successful
He turns back around

Dear Mr. Sunshine
I’m sorry to have to tell you
But I’m not interested
I know why you wish
That I was
But I’m not
I’m sorry to crush
Your dreams
Of causing me aggravations
But I beg you
Mr. Sunshine
Move on with your life

Him
He is divine
He is practiced
He is glorious
And I love him

He has never met me
But I know him well
He has never heard of my house
But I know where his is

He is exquisite
He is tenacious
He is notorious
And I love him
