Grateful

Cute (G)

To me the world is a bus

Hurtling by in a blur of logos

And I am a man with one eye

Catching disjointed images

Fractured messages

Lost light



To me the world is a comet

Blazing over a lazy chunk of rock

Peppered with meaningless ions

Brushed with heat

Pointed in the wrong direction



To me the world is a stray tiger

Starving, wanting

A pit of teeth and wonder

Wandering for a place to sleep

Wandering for a bite to eat



To me you are a kind coin

I find in the rain

When a flat tire kicks my foot

Shining and brief

Yet memorable and treasured



I'll put you in my pocket and never spend you

Thank you for reading this

Author's Notes/Comments:

You already know what I am, and yet you still put up with me. I'm grateful for your friendship, and your awesome salsa!

cool poem,
nice lines,
To me the world is a bus
Hurtling by in a blur of logos
And I am a man with one eye
Catching disjointed images
Fractured messages
Lost light

You're welcome, really don't mention it... Hehe, just kidding. ;) *lol* I really like this piece, the meaning is just excellent. Many people never do realize the effect they might have on someone else. :)
