I can see nothing more than the girl.
She sits.
cross-legged.
reading.
brow furrowed.
long hair hanging down.
she wears long sleeves.
which she pulls over her hands.
to keep them warm.
the allusion of safety.
i can tell she is a girl:
the delicacy of her fingers.
the sallow pink of her nails.
the scent.
and so i see her.
sitting.
reading.
breathing.
whether or not she feels, i do not know.
i have not read her book.
she is all i can see.
beyond her,
who knows?
This one’s an older poem.
I just found it elsewhere.
Excellent, and a little sad. There is power in your words.
Mmmm.
I was always a tad partial to the aul’ melancholy.
Thanks for the comment.
i think i know this girl.
Maybe you do.
She’s in my head.
I’m trying to find her.
aww! I wanna be that girl!
Women will enchant, entice, and entangle. Try not to do the same to them, and you will never have anything to regret.

I really like the
sitting.
reading.
breathing.
stanza. I love the way that you seperate each action
into it’s own little world.
thanks for sharing again…
Thanks slynne.
That’s kind of because I have
that slow motion effect,
When I think of her.
Like a film reel running in my head.
Slow and steady.
Perhaps you already know her.
You just don’t know you do.
hmmmmm.
Well i reckon I do but she’s just a friend
and that’s all….. ‘Oh well’s.
Hopefully there’s one or two more out there.
And it’d be fun if they were a bit hidden and I had to go halfway round the world.
Hmmmmm……
I haven’t been in enough jungles.
