Mirror Kissing
I don’t want a sunbeam
give that to Jesus.
Don’t bother me with purity,
don’t let me make shadows
out of you.
I don’t want a butterfly
batting along on the wind.
The wind of my word,
on the gale of my opinion.
I don’t want a pearl,
something that needs to be made.
Made from gritty sand, held close,
and pressurised round and edgeless.
I don’t want a rose
called what I want it to be,
cut where I want it to be,
on my lapel, for when it makes me look best.
I don’t want conversations like schizophrenia.
If you want me to be able to explain you in four lines,
I don’t want you.
Sometimes when dating, girls seem to be reluctant to have their own opinions, as if you may like them less if they are counter to yours.
