There's a sprinkling of them
that still resonates,

draining the overworked grass
unsightly and scraggly now,

call them as such;

but I prefer
to celebrate their feistiness,
you see,
as i place myself
strategically among them,

we wear eachother's clothes,
to each a mirror,

for better and for the not so fair,
as i wonder if they still retain their potentcy
and if one could squeeze out just another wish or two
and blow one breathless on a quest for love;

and am I
(still potent )
to you, my friend?

do I still intoxicate
though you've seen the inner sinews
to my pretty faced apparition?

and should I care at all
if you choose now to reject me,
as if you yourself bear no ugliness
on days when doubt and hesitation
take possession of your demeanor?

I prefer to think it such
as I may be wretched as
the stench of garbage on an august heatwave,
but still I reek as potent
and as magical
as the dandelion is relentless,

and for now, whether you
stay the course of me
or run to safer diversions,

I can only give testimony
to the girl that only i will ever know
and understand,
without any second guessings
or misconceptions at the
trappings of typed vowels and consonants.

You say so much of what I feel at times,
but can never find the words.

Thanks for this, I think I'll send it to him,
not that he would recognize himself.

Big hugs, goldielocks~

How do you like that one?

this poem was tremendous, especially this
If someone rejects us, then we should let it be, forgiving but not keeping count and pointing fingers, just allowing what is

In the long run, the rejection becomes us
in our favor and wraps us in the arms of great and wise fate...we're better for it.

Wonderful write!
