The Poem

i read about
coffee, wine,
non-monogamy
on a shy girl's profile.

i imagine...

pajamas
glasses of wine—
she reads
in the evening
line after line

rewatching movies—
although she cries
she still smiles
with twinkling eyes

thoughts:
soft lips\ breath
and bites
she sighs and wonders
what happened
to all the wine

she dreams of travel,
sand on her feet
an orange sun
where sea and land meet

she has family
and is not alone
although she shields
her face
she is closer
than anyone thinks

at morning i wonder
what could have been
more coffee
more profiles
again and again

Commentary

I don't remember who this was specifically, but I remember seeing an ethically non-monogamous woman (I think polyamorous) who was seeking a relationship. She mentioned she liked wine and the beach and traveling.

Oh, and this poem is part of a series that I explain here.
