New forms of Hello
Look like entombed eyes
Were we naïve Utopianism?
In the face of evil?

You whispered some of the best lyrics
Begotten by nature and travel
Holding me spellbound
Like some lifetime recreation

Discovering a lump of self-rising dough
It takes a lifetime to discover you
Yet we live in different worlds?
Memorizing great corn crops
Yours and mine
Free and tender looked me right in the eye

Glued to theory diverts the bill
Whipped in some seaside library
Dealing out favors in a mid-eastern market
Where I couldn’t bear to give you up
Lacks verification
Owning suitable etiquette

But I saw a girl in the parlor, blond ponytail
Filling up your coffee cup
Swimming in early years
She owned infatuation
And the copyright to your smile

Life’s dark and irregular trick
Giving me way to much caffeine
I hate this devastating appetite
For tending bar & raising violets
Noticing you walk in
Looking quit different
She looks good on you

Respect and politeness, frisk my pockets
Chaining me to a bottomless pit
For deserting shadows of words
Hunger is a horrible thing
A slap in the face, at best

I walk with the program of Phantom of the Opera
Wondering if I’d look ridiculous
As a seventeen year locust on your pedestal
Always wondering about a quiet collation
And that anxious look a gal gets
When passing an ice cream store
I’m adrift on some unknown ocean
Waiting for a dove to bring an olive branch
Discovering a sentiment worth millions

Lee, oh my, what a daliesque moment!

You have presented us with great imagery in a heartbreak of a theme, straddling reality and wishful thinking.

You do have a very descriptive way with words.
I never noticed a gal’s look at the ice cream store
But, I will the next time I’m in one.
