Poem 11: You Poem

You poem
You're so self-centred
Dolled up in clever words
And poignant pauses

You poem
With your clever repetition
Drawing us in, rhymeless and guileless
Abstract yet familiar

You poem
Either nature, glamourified
Or love, cloyingly sweet
A cliché for all reasons

You poem
So hyper-well-observed
Over-stuffed with quirky details
And plaintive tugs at the heartstrings

You poem
Like a terrorist
You only need to get lucky once
To resonate in someone's mind

You poem
Opening up spaces
Lighting up faces
Scattering graces

You poem
I wish you were mine
