Poetry Thursday
Happy Poetry Thursday, to one and all
Beautiful, In Disguise
How would I talk to you,
if I was other than
who I am?
Not so odd or not so
strange, how would it
all begin?
How would things flow,
if I was beautiful,
instead of rather plain?
Would you glance between
my legs, no thought
tied to my train?
How would I form sly
words that spoke to you, if
I stood beyond your reach?
Would my eyes unravel you,
unbalance you, like waves
knocked on some beach?
How would it be if
I was beautiful, never
once down my knees?
If could take your breath
and hold it there, as mine
-for me to tease.
How would it feel if
I could catch you once
(and only by surprise)?
I'd whisper softly, as I
kissed your ear,"Make me
beautiful,in disguise"

So beautiful!
I love the soft rhymes, short lines, and rhythm. The poem glides yet it doesn't feel like it has a form (but it does!).
"thoughts tied to a train" -- very nice.
A very good poem! Well written!
hmmm...this one made me literally say "hmmmm" out loud.
take your breath
and hold it there as mine.
i love this image.
(happy thursday)
I love how you have expressed the wish without the desperation that might have fought to be included. This was a gentle read. Thank you.
Such a raw question to be asking--yet it is one put out there again and again all around us. I felt the energy and emotion here--and appreciated it very much.
beauty in disquise, this poem ROCKS! I LOVE it!
"how would
talk go,
if i was
beautiful
instead
of rather plain"
This is great! I really like this. I've been struggling to write a poem with a similar theme. Yours is so natural, so easy -- almost breezy. Light and beautiful but made me gasp at the honesty of the last line.
This is so gentle and sweet, sad and beautiful.
This poem truly touched me. No $5 words to show off your education -- simple phrases arranged just so to bring a tear to the reader's eye. Thank you for sharing it.
I gasp with these words of longing. Gorgeous writing.
