A Common Ground

A Common Ground

A Poem by J.L.R

I fall so gently for your focus

your illuminated

perplexed computer face

your backlit halo 

pushing in 


Red neon spills to 

bricked backgrounds

infused by jazz 

so smooth and creamy


cups of coffee


I fall so swiftly for your stillness 

your furrowed brow

amused, still tender

your rising chest

pulsing on 


Burnt gold kissing 

the sides of our faces

dissolving in silver keys

so constant and rhythmic 


scripts and stories


"I’d fall for you all day in this place,”

                  She said.

Quietly creating our presence 

in chairs and screens.
