My Harry Potter life July 1, 2012


 

 

She’s on vacation

I’m jealous,

 wondering who she is with

and wish it was me,

knowing the hates me,

yet I can’t stop

writing all little love poems,

 like a 16 year old kid

whose hormones have just kicked in,

the kind of poems

I should have written her

 when I first got with her,

full of angst and lust,

 poems I know she will never see,

 each dripping with my need not hers,

we—I mean me –

being too selfish to share,

wanting, not giving back,

 a spoiled toddler in a tantrum

 when she looks

 in any other direction by mine,

 my imagination painting a scene

 with silk sheets and intense embraces,

 even though I know nothing

 of where she went,

 let along if she went with someone,

 here in this dusty alcove,

a Harry Potter without his owl,

waiting for the elf to come

to drop the cake

alone again, naturally.
