I Have Noticed You at Night. – Promote Yourself

I have noticed you at night.

Your promise laden presence

Precedes you into every room

And I forget to breathe.

 

I have noticed you at night,

Floating in a cloud of faces

That fade to grey, pale to post scripts

In the light electric of your smile. 

 

I have noticed you at night,

Stolen glances, crowded rooms

And dreamt of drowning (once again)

In pools of cerulean blue. 

 

I have noticed you at night,

Veiled in an air of intimacy

And, if frank, rue the fact it’s worn

For someone else. Not me. 

 

I have noticed you at night,

And found, despite myself,

I celebrate your living,

And  am blessed  to see you loving.
