Imperfection Plus

Sometimes I wish I could be the paint on your wall
and just watch you as you sleep
so not to disrupt you slumbering
not even with the a most delicate kiss

Sometimes I wish was a personal journal
that you write in in total freehand
uncensored and uncovered
and void of any sense of judgment

Sometimes I wish had the power to assuage those barbs and slings
that make you erect barriers
fortress guard heart

Yet I know that my ever human part
is far from being perfect art

So I hope despite the bravado and surface appearances
my intent is not sinister in true nature
and I am not waxing starry eyed on a distant star
rose colored glasses don't always remained fixed
in this world with so much in motion
and I have worked on lowering my self imposed bars
