Been wanting to write a poem & now's the time
it's been over a year which i guess is fine
been around the world & done some incredible stuff
no wonder i'm knackered & looking ruff.
Sitting in a cafe in NW10
here i am with paper & pen
maybe the girl who works here has inspired me to write
she surely is one of life's most amazing sights.
Rare to see such beauty in human form
it's usually only in nature such fineness is born
don't know her name, age or what she's about
but she's proded me awake there is no doubt.
This poem makes me laugh it seems absurd
she's probably less than half my age & we've hardly uttered a word
to read her this poem looks like a crazy thing to do
but me expressing myself is nothing new.
Man & lady is Gods favorite laugh
complicated and baffling i'll go take a bath
when i first saw her my body vibrated into life
falling in love brings such unimaginable strife.
So take it easy & breathe in deep
i wonder what she looks like when she's fast asleep
in all fairness i'll probably never find out
& that's ok it's not what this is about.
Maybe i'll keep it a secret & not say a word
but that's no fun said the bee to the bird
if someone wrote a poem about you would you like to know
or is it just too creepy & better not to show.
i've left the cafe & going to work
making a sale now feels like a perk
with lifes challenges & difficulties too
meeting this lady, well what to do? :)
