Red- Horse Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Red-Horse


Just another you in my life
The love that but cannot be won
Were behind my smile strife
Of malicious lust and devotion;
Really and it’s true- I love you
Face that is clothed confused lover
That haunted my lips cold and blue
While we share peanut and beer;
Under the spell of desire’s note
The anti-charm of fear
This secret playmate in my thought
Tear the shadow from the air;
We both knew who and what the score
Of which is this- the play in its hour.
