Christine Anderson Poet Rhyme

Watching

If I saw you in the dark
 Without a word without a lark 
Saw you standing there very candidly 
I Saw you there,
 I watched you watch me ….
standing very candidly 
you were watching, watching over me 
I wonder and I pondered
 I might have even squandered..
 For what purpose are you there?
 Did it matter ?Did I care ?
You were watching, watching over me. 
 Not quite the same, more straight, yet curved , feet hovering, not quite on the ground , mimicking my movements without out a sound 
You where there very candidly watching me , watching you , 
I wondered and I pondered are we one ? Or are we two ?
