Clouds in My Coffee

 
They who shall not be named
Will not be shamed
Or tamed
In the games that these wild hearts once played
They, who once gave coy smiles
While biting a lower lip, slightly
Lightly
Likely to say something more without words
Left me wondering

Even in the recollection of sitting in that lecture hall
I gazed at the mystery and intrigue
As all (male) eyes watched enthralled
Spellbound by someone completely out of their league

But as fate would have it and just out of habit
I wrote the words in my head in the moment instead
Not knowing it would come to fruition
And that some time later was my verses would be read…

But as Carly sang, I too was so naïve
Unsure if I should go and chase that dream
Hesistant or perhaps too shy to believe
Or maybe because I lacked the self-esteem

Now looking back and thinking of unspoken words
The body language said something more
But I got some rhymes out of those great times
When I walked away and closed that door

So I grin remembering young me
Of the details my memory shut-in
Reminiscing on that blue and white
At the fool I was and have always been
