A Poem by Aube Ralph
"

this poem is special because it's about a complete stranger in contrast to my significant other (who is nonexistant)

"

sexy smooth charcoaled skin,
the perfect combo for my mocha tint
dark blue wool coat, with hooks
in lieu of buttons
a sizeable watch
he wants to know what time it is.
Loose gray trousers, dark
diesel brand shoes.
well dressed.

and me, my usual self
rusty-looking hair, skin-tight
jeans. elf boots, my coat – the gap
my checkered vendor hat
scared to show my million dollar
smile.

facing him – I learned
every inch of his face with
this subtle detective tendency in me.
medium-sized juicy lips, not Jay-z lips, just right.
large dark brown eyes.
regal nose.
manly peach fuzz.
all of him simply off-limits to me…

I looked at the shiny dot on my finger
½ carat, humble, like he was
something I wasn’t sure I wanted,
or needed
but strived for nonetheless.
I refocused my thoughts to him,
his cause.
excellence. success. happiness.
peace of mind
that’s what I wanted,
needed.
the obvious choice.
