You are a special kind of ordinary
A different the same
A complicated simple.
I don’t get you when I start getting you
I see you more when I see you less
And the further away I sail, the closer to you I get.
You are a scarce form of regular
A visual invincible
A vague clarity.

Girl On a Train by Olanami Theophilus
I want to not want you but I don’t know how
I hold my breathe to go away
It don’t matter, you already take my breathe away.
You are a never ending second
An everyday millennium
A numeric alphabet.
I want to understand why so I ask why
I find the answers only to see they are questions
And then those questions have answers that ask other questions.
You are my reflection in a wall
An expensive bargain
A noisy symphony.
I want you to know me as much as I know you.
We both see we
And while others try to figure out what this is
we already know it’s a love-note from me to me.
PS : On the rare occasions I write poetry, they come out looking like this. Here is to hoping I can learn to write better poems. Shout out to those who can boldly call themselves poets.
Yours ain’t so bad.
Love the free use of figures of speech, I’m caught between finding them and deciphering the oxymoron from the paradox like a senior secondary school Literature lesson

I flirt with poetry occassionaly, in a serious relationship with fiction and musing.
PS: Please don’t let any of them know. 😊😊😊

Okay. Thanks for pointing it out. I must have done something behind the scene I shouldn’t have.
