If we had met in a bar
Or somewhere more bizarre
I might have seen
The blue of your jeans
The smile in your chin
I doubt I would’ve ever
Lipped all my heartache

I’da crossed my legs
A million times
Worried about the fraying
Hem of my skirtline
I would surely have
Leaned forward on
Bracelet elbows
Smiled alluring so
You could graze your
Thoughts over the curves
Of my shell
Pushing your eyes
Through the core of me

I can almost feel that self
I would have been hiding
Behind my lipsticked smile
Running my fingers over the rim
Of the “I don’t even like wine” glass
Seductively

Slowly
My perfume might have
Tickled your fantasies
We’d stand to leave
And maybe my false bravery
Would brush against you or
Your hand with mine
Gaging the electricity

But in mere reality
That meeting
Would have never been
My soul breathing
With much clarity
The who of you
Mixed in with the
Me of me

The walls would have
Never come down
In the clink of alcohol
Or the
“nice to meet you tonight”
sound, or my shy smile

perhaps there is no answer
to the confusion of my why’s
and maybe I’ll never be
perfection in your eyes
but a bar would’ve been
a fleeting smoked filled room night

and maybe your hand laying
on my wanting thigh
would have had it’s own meaning
far better than my
imagination can ever write

but…and…well in the end…
it never happened this way
and there’s a reason I’ve never
seen the color of
your eyes with my own
I think it was so I could
Bloom for you
Like a flower
In my own garden’s time

PoeticaL,

Welcome to Passions, first of all. This was a nice write. Lots for the reader to ponder. Very nice.
