Glitterball

The things you miss

about the faces that claimed

Your day

people who are just passing

Time

with

You

Scared of aging

I miss the flash of

White teeth

A polaroid of precision

gated bones

Celebrating snatches

from a postcard of Joy

Talling me how happy

You were to see me

Your warm embrace

The honey of your soft

Voice

Like the kiss of

butter

I miss my friend

whose laugh would

erupt

like a Volcano

Turning grown men into

Bludshing yet pulsing

Schoolboys

Spasms of conversations

Lost in the magic

of a Glimpse

Speech bubble people

Eager to be popped

Ripe for connecting

I miss your walk

Like a dance

The shimmy of Limbs

everytime you stepped

Into a room

You were like a

Dazzling Glitterball

Your eyes shone like

Jewels

For there was

Something special

About you

sad poetry

About the Creator
