Feeling Good Alone

I walk the streets

like a hand

caressing curves

and marvel at the

edges of architectural 

beauty surrounding me...

see me?

your energy knocks

my footing off and 

I teeter...

you probably thought

I was drunk or weak

as I stumbled past you

you'd be right in both cases...

you're beautiful too...

so f*****g beautiful...

but i'd be lying if

i didn't say i felt relief

and calm when i was 

once again alone

with the dead static aesthetic 

of streets and buildings

that hold no judgement.

Interesting read. The thought that streets and buildings don't pass judgement but hold more character than the people walking on them.

Very expressive piece. I could think for a while on this poem!
I like how you compare buildings and people. Sometimes beauty is best enjoyed at a distance and some beauty is only skin deep. I like the last line...that hold no judgement...buildings hold strength, beauty, and stay the same where as many people appear to be but only few are genuine. Well written!

you do think a lot! I totally agree with you too, I guess us writers need time alone more than others, to observe and ponder. Thanks so much for reading and letting me know your thoughts, really appreciate it.

Really enjoyed it. Nicely written. Although, the lower case "i" makes the inner grammar Nazi of me cringe. Heehee
Very well done, nonetheless.

I enjoy the way you bring the words to life, really capturing the feeling of the moment. I could vividly picture every detail of a specific street I had on my mind. Dead silence is sometimes the best noise of all, I think.

Buildings have a beauty all their own if we stop to look at them. They're like older adults that accept us as we pass. Alone themselves.
