 caffeinated daydreams
said the Rolly Bling to me
he said
i'm a good man and i'm
he stopped suddenly
in a drunken thought
i saw some coffee-scented candles
he continued slowly
and deliberately
i nodded politely and looked down
and i returned to my writing
is she really the beautius
i wrote on an empty sheet
her beauty, her health, her face and her smile
is it really unconquerable
i put the pen down
i wanted to express it better
hey man
said the Rolly Bling
noting that i had stopped writing
can i have enough
for another coffee
he said to me
i spent it all
and he gestured to a girl
i told him that i'd seen better
and gave him the money
and i returned to my writing
"In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo."
i wrote in the margin
hoping for a spark of genius
to tap into the ether of perfection
i breathed a sigh for her
for her deep inside
her delightful name
i continued to write
her looks, her smile, her laughter, her honesty
her unbridled perfection
my heart is the sponge, soaking up
every inch of her being
i return it, full, to my chest
for me to cherish and enjoy, my dreams
for her or no one to squeeze and set free.
i sighed
and traced over the words again
"In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo."
and i thought of these great words
and i thought of these great feelings
and how lucky i am,
to have these experiences.
