Is it me? May 22, 2024

 

She did it again

Or is it me,

A blast from the past

As potent as ever

Her mouth set,

Painted,

Her eyes framed

Like a masterpiece,

And I stare,

Stunned

The way I was back then,

Is it me?

Or is she some force of nature

That sweeps into our lives

Like a storm,

And passed out

Leaving us to wonder

What it is that hit us

And whether we will

Ever be the same,

The memory of her impact

Coming back

Making me react

Just as I did then,

Shaken each time

She posts a new one,

And this so much like

Those I used to see

On my phone

In my head

In my dreams in bed.

I stare

Feeling like an interloper

Like a peeping Tom

Caught  in the act,

Just a picture

And yet,

More than that.
