Don't Mind Me

Don't mind me, my dear

if i tell you silly, strange things, at times

like i may tell you,

that black coffee sometimes, tastes like

high quality chocolate, and you

may never agree,

i may tell you, 

that i find the sea more beautiful

in a thunderstorm,

than on a beach-summer day, 

i might tell you, that the bird

perched outside, has a bit

of a schoolboy crush on me,

that i have woken up… quite sloshed

from night-mingled rains,

a little drugged, by mountain fogs,

that i have been kidnapped

for years....by a mere kiss,

and you,

might shake your head,

i may tell you…of my plans

of running away to Antarctica,

in a dead serious tone,

don’t mind me, 

i come with a penchant,

for odd behaviour too,

i might stop mid-evening walk,

mid-conversation… to stare

at an owl swooping down

and remain speechless

for a good chunk of time

i may continue

scraping wildly at my long-finished 

cup of blueberry frozen yogurt, 

some other times,

i may be itching all over

to do push-ups in a crowded place,

don’t mind me...just for the thrill 

of a newly acquired feat! 

don’t mind me, if i tell you

things about life...

dark things, maybe,

mysterious things... 

that life is nothing, sometimes

but a wound...left to heal

that the crescent moon beneath

the passing clouds, is actually, 

a kiss left in the sky.

It is always a delight to read your poetry and this is no exception Sanobar. The images you have described are lovely, the last two lines - absolute perfection. A poem I will read again and again. :) Julie

"that the crescent moon beneath
the passing clouds, is actually,
a kiss left in the sky."

Thank you for the wonderful words! :)

[Lydia Shutter]

The innocence of a child mingles with the knowing too much of an adult. Sanober, the whimsy of your write is magical and yet I find a bit of melancholy between the lines. The metaphors and similes are super and the imagery is downright tangible! As is usually the case, your views of the simple things in life leave me mesmerized. Just wonderful poetry. Lydi**

Reading you is like reading you for the very first time...it's refreshing, stirring, and quite impressive. There's a new twist to this one, but it's polished with your signature style!

"that the crescent moon beneath
the passing clouds, is actually,

a kiss left in the sky."

Only you, Sanober!
