Those Who Were Seen Dancing

"Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." - friedrich nietzshe

You asked what I see in him.
Silence, my only reply.
How do I begin to convince you
of what I see in his eyes?

Storm cloud blue eyes behind thin
glasses. The Tempest, the opus of
his passion.
“Will I ever be part of it?”
Lightning flashes.

When we first met, his distant
glare froze, but the waters
warmed and we began to
get close.

At least I thought, I felt it
was so. Another delusion I let
myself fall into. Another precious
illusion confused with true love.
Yes,
True love will do.

With each introduction into his
world, I never thought I’d be
destined to be “That girl.”
I was impatient, playing with fire
to break the ice.
Wishful thinking, I know.

Scream at me, “You’re late again.”
I’d rather be dead than dead to him.

He’s precious.
//Interim// is
a puppy barking at his own reflection.

A lie based on a truth
Or a truth based on a lie
The boy who made a difference
He made me feel alright

It’s the words that make no sense
that I like the best.
Today I smiled
because for one second
I didn’t think of him,
then I thought about him again.

You asked what I see in him,
and I said nothing.
Then you left and I shouted below
a whisper, “Everything.”

    What a unique write. I like how the stanzas were... jumbled, if that's the correct word to use. They didn't have one set style, yet somehow, they all worked. They worked very well.

    Excellent job.

    For being such a sarcastic a..whole, I thought I would comment on a poem. It is the least I can do. And by the way, this poem is very good. It isn't fancy filled with words that I need a dictionary for. It was eloquent yet humble.
