Poem: Hello
by Phianna Rekab
She could sneak up on you
tell you straight up how she feels,
hide behind a frown
or write gobs of horrible poetry,
only because she’s still a shy lady.
They say her folks raised her properly.
No wonder she’s cool to take her time,
secretly hoping you’d know and by some miracle you’ll be so inclined.
They say there’s a chaos in her soul
thinking how to out herself with tact
This is what she wants to say but the will she lacks:
We’re together whenever I close my eyes
Living, loving, playing
Having the time of our lives.
It’s the best part of my life.
No wonder it’s hard to be awakened.
Could it be,
the woman in your best dreams is me?
Maybe if you’re bold
you won’t take the discreet way
and introduce yourself one day.
Of all the words I’d like to hear you say,
Hello, is the one I’d prefer wholeheartedly
