I Reinvented Your Voice
I reinvented your voice
and
I simplified your eyes I think
and the firmness of your chest
it became a personification of our
farewell I
simplified your voice to an
unfulfilled reassurance I reduced
your fingers to a gesture
unreturned
Redefined a couple of terms
claimed myself the right to change
their conventional sense
apparently I
Re-evaluated those few words
stubbornly reinventing
ambiguity of love
did you at least enjoy
The streaks of blue which I left
after every
entanglement of our thoughts
my adventure-driven touch (?)
In the immature naivety
of the songs
that played in the background
of this mismatched game
(I reinvented your voice)
