Notes About The Poem

Written July 13 2026 

Love, Girl next door

Blue butterflies ballet in my tummy
Forehead swimming with my mind
Eyes red I feel funny nose is runny
Tangerine tingles crawl up my spine

If it isn’t love then I must be ill 
For anytime I see you I blush
And red heart does cartwheels 
I can never say very much

Like a bright firefly my eyes 
Light up at sight of you
Your gaze could make me high
As a kite in the sky blue

What is your secret is it Cupid
An arrow shot my mahogany way
I try not to say something stupid
That I’d ruby regret one day

Don’t even know if you’re taken
I’ve no neon nerve to inquire
That thought has heart breaking 
Setting silver soul on fire

Perhaps Cupid is an amethyst ally
Who works his magic in reverse
Next ill say hi this warm July
And try to make small talk white words

It’s funny how I miss something 
That I’ve never hazel had
But I’ll say this for sure one thing
Thought of love make me glad

So it’s a rainy day in summer
So glad to see you looking well
I’m single so that’s no bummer
Showers of love may cause a spell

I'd tell you my secret, but it's the featured article in 'The National Enquirer' today.
