Winging My Eyeliner

I am stunning,

surreal,

I am your missed connection

you are placing an ad in the Classifieds

to get my attention.

I am intelligent,

insightful,

I am intrigued by the human psyche 

Let me tell you why you are interested in me.

I am advanced,

unattainable,

I am sitting in coffee shop corners

collecting information. 

I am wild,

nearly reckless,

I am staying up so late

it's like I woke up early. 

I am honest,

raw,

I am writing a poem about you 

on the back of a napkin in my car. 

I am cool,

aloof,

I am wearing my sunglasses 

and looking directly at you. 

I am responsible,

realistic,

I am doing the dishes and

vacuuming the carpet. 

I am burning,

sultry,

I am winging my eyeliner

and wearing black lipstick. 

I am stunning,

surreal,

I am your apparition,

I am haunting your daydreams 

and whispering in your ear.
