i want to be the man

Every poem has a story and it doesn’t always have a happy ending. This poem was inspired by someone who went away. I wasn’t hip, daring, and open enough for her to stay. then I was, then I’m still is. 😦
i want to be the man
i don’t want to be just friends
i want to be one with you
as the sky melts into the ocean
but if i tell you
you’d think i’m such a clown
and dismiss it with a frown
i want to be the lover
i don’t want things stay as they are
i want to bond with you
as the ink in your tattoo
but if i tell you
i’d see the knitted brow
i’d see magpies stealing the show
would it help if i beg the wind
to whisper softly in your ear
that like waves heading to shore
love can’t wait any longer
but oh, you don’t seem to care
you remain deaf to my pleadings
you cause my heart to despair
i want to be the real deal
i don’t want to just fade away
i want to be always close to you
as i am to you now
but if i tell you
you’d say i’m funny even when i’m broke
then squeeze my hand gently as we end our walk

“haven’t met a man as profound as you.”
in reality, it maybe the other way around. 😦

glad you like it. as the saying goes, better to love and lost than not to love at all. </3. anyway, just tinkered with the wordings a little bit to make the poem suits my inner ear better.

coming from a true poet like you, i feel honored. i’ll continue to write as i see fit.
by the way, remember the picture of a woman by the lake holding balloons? i’ll be using it in a poem. i’ll post it as soon as the wording feels right. 🙂
