Wednesday Man

you were just like the day passing by

The gentle breeze in the early morning

brought me the faint scent of a stranger

carrying the face of the person

with a special place in my memory

The book I used to hate with a bitter taste

you held with your fingers and a pretty gaze

As unwanted heartbeats pick up the pace

my mind goes blank in a warm yet unfamiliar haze

At that moment, I wished to be the subject of your attention

I wanted to be the color in the paintings of your collection

I wanted my name in all of the figures that you trace

in your sketches on paper and on my skin's surface

I wanted you to paint my lips in tints and shades

Give my name a definition in every language that you speak

something more beautiful than the rain and Wednesday

But there's nothing more to see from where our fingertips meet

The things I used to think were for me

the music you play, the art you create

no matter how sweet and sound the melody

will only fall silent to your eyes and ears

Oh, I've seen you in my dreams

but you are not a secret I can keep

not in my heart nor in my arms

I know you do not belong to me

Gurl, why do you have to break my heart after setting it aflutter? Beautiful imagery, appropriate choice and use of words, good texture and balance of lines, and even the use of cliches are sweet! Very fluffy and beautiful while being melancholy. Amazing job!!!

The imageries you used were very vivid and it allows your audience to easily visualize what you are writing about, which is amazing because it gives your poem a colorful appearance despite it only consisting of words. The way you expressed your feelings combined with your choice of words makes it very easy for the audience to empathize and understand your feelings.
