Ode To My Window
Rectangular
Pieces of glass,
Seemingly only functional as a filler
To the cavity in my wall,
Yet, much more you are.
You're the gatekeeper allowing the sun to journey
Through and caress my eyes as
The sun arise
And I awake on a schedule.
You are the looking glass of temptations,
The escort in lingerie,
Simply teasing and not allowing a
Touch
What's on offer,
I acknowledge you, and appreciate
The moments you inspirate
For you're the wardrobe
And you've gifted me Narnia,
Comprised of prohibited escapades
And midnight munchies.
It seems as if I’m entitled to your many
Offerings, for I’ve only concealed you behind
Those dead hanging corpses we’ve named
Curtains.
Ironic how I deny you, and still
I would have a prison cell instead,
if it wasn't for you,
that window on that fourth wall,
In that third room,
in that 98th mobile home,
So plainly there,
yet so intricately significant
To me.

It was one of my first works and one of my proudest. I attempt to acknowledge something so insignificant as a window and view it in a different light.
