The girl on the cerise sofa

 

 I stared at the girl on the cerise velvet sofa 

She is combing her turquoise hair

Entangled with her problems 

My gaze streamed through the fabric that

Entangled her body

She glanced at me with vibrant

Dullness in her eyes. They said,

The day was long

Her hair drizzled down the dreary scarf

Broke the moment that was posed before

My unrested heart wanted to 

Fiddle with her bangs but I stayed serene

She coiled her hair into a bun

The night loomed over
