Cold Air and Sunshine

She had me...then she lost me. (written about 2003)

 

If I fall

Will you catch me?

Or put me on the rack

And stretch me?

Test me

But you best be

Honest in your intentions.

 

I mentioned

Your name

The same

Way I always do.

 

As a young fool

In high school

I used drool

For your extensions.

I used to cower

From the tension.

 

I’ve let that go

I’ll let you know

That you’re a beautiful soul

All the rage

All aglow.

But much lower

On the totem pole.

 

Because I don’t prioritize

By your lovely eyes

Your perfect thighs

That a*s

That goes on for days

Don’t be amazed

Or shocked.

So you’re not my rock?

After years

Of tears

I won’t walk that talk.

 

But I’ll remember you

In a September hue

Of browns

With frowns

Coloring everything you do.

 

Cold air and sunshine

Autumn describes your mind.

Hey there!
This little poem has a great flow and I love the repetitive rhyming. I love the comparison of "cold air and sunshine" of autumn to the bittersweet memories of an old love that never came to fruition.
The second to last stanza is my favorite with its more abstract language.

Cheers!
