You and I

by

A little careless with money
rough around the edges
cynical and sharp
but apparently you love me anyway

sarcastic and wild
a dervish
a flourish of

curt tongue

and feminine wiles

silver rings and

painted skin

eyes that pierce
spirit that is free
lips that only smile because of you

or smirk always
a look of abandonment on face

that often portrays blatant

disdain and catlike curiosity

all of these comprise me

and still

with all my faults

you are here

alongside me
standing next to me

and holding my hand

guiding me through another

chapter of my life
