Katrina Kaye

you are brilliant

in the sunlight

a flourish of
wings and things

misunderstood

I am not a
playmate

I only want
to watch you
sparkle

I only want
a little bit
of your reflection

the ability
to see what
you are

I am in awe

nothing more

I tremble
and blush at
the sight of you

so quick

so colorful
