You and Me = Cosy

candles many
blankies set
cakey baked
aglow we sit
watching

shallow water
shells,
sand,
and
sea
creatures are exposed
as we play

troubled and brilliant
he evaluates the scene
always the detective

You’re so serious,

yet you act like such a weirdo.

blue sky
you convince your
people, the sky is green

fairy floss heart

too sweet and fickle

beating fluffy floss

single yellow rose
summer has not taken you
sometime soon she will

curious and cute
he’s hiding something
she’s a detective
hunting

your touch
will convince
her
sorrowful heart
love
is enough

Feet dipped into seawater,
naively she thinks.

Sensibility overcomes Sense,
uninformed feels.

Dreaming of make-belief,
unobtainable love.

She’d been caged for years;
uneducatedly, blind.

Sense overcomes Sensibility,
educated perspective.

Feet sit on the sea rocks,
reality sets within.
