I would first like to apologize for my eyes
How they act as your bodyguard making sure you arrive to your location safely
lately they have been looking as your physical is nowhere to be found
but the sound of your presence fills the room – no space for elephants
I could never be accused of negligence
you are always a primary concern but I've learned your space is necessary
for legendary to remain on your name tag
Second I apologize for my writing
Igniting my name tag is something I never felt necessary
But when you asked the difference between the two the view
has been much clearer
I wish you were much nearer
but insightful is my vision frightful is now a prison and our distance is more like ball toss
you once left me at a loss of words
now they fall like golf balls of hail – Your name is braille on my tongue
familiar- it rolls like sled rides and continuous pace
I face you with ambiguous grace – patience – and obedience
You'd probably never accept the title genius
your craft sometimes doesn't allow you to sit back and look
at all the edges
You are worth the hundreds of hours I spend trying to recreate
your essence from scratch
embarrassed at times, no watch could ever tell me
what you can.
Could never make me tick like you can
I unlatch and unstrap
I run my fingers across your palms and wrist
as if it could make me time travel to a past life
