C & K

The Detective

troubled and brilliant
he evaluates the scene
always the detective

You’re so serious,

yet you act like such a weirdo.

You stare into the mirror, hoping for something different.

The person in the mirror is you, and you know who you are now.

It took the broken pieces of your past to come together, just like this mirror, for you to see clearly.

You look into the mirror and say, “Well, a bit of foundation will do.“

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.

the shore calls again
sea sounds sing a song of hope
off the summer coast
