Poetry: Observations

My House on the Hill

Seeing you without seeing me,
Running through the willowy leaves
I only hope you don't see me still,
Waiting
beneath my house on the hill.

I hate wanting you unaware-
That cold gleam and withering stare,
Unrelentingly
unfocused near my direction
Bleakly straight ahead

As though you needed some other kind of inspiration-
than a spectator
Who couldn't offer you any advise
An other kind of warmth -
than me.

I waved once-
on a whim
But thankfully, you didn't see
Beneath my house on the hill
While running
Through the willowy leaves.
