In this one you are my flame-haired hero
A shocking beauty with no regrets
A vault of treasure and talent
An assembly of wealthy memories
You conquered the crowd
With eruptions of left-winged interpretations.
I could listen to you all day
And now, I wish, with retrospect I had
listened to you more
You astounded me, outwitted me, scared
me almost
Nobody could prepare themselves for you
Nor predict what might pour out of that
witchy mouth
I was jealous of you, as were the
bullies that tormented your soul
I long for just one more day in the
company of you
To feel the silent, energising punch of
adoration
I want to rub the lantern and reverse
time
To study your mannerisms, to submerge myself
in your identity
So that I may never forget, so that I
may ransack your memory
So I could pledge my friendship, so I
could tell you everything I never said.
