The girl in the photograph
The girl in the photograph
is swagger and poise
shyness and hope
uncertainty and strength
The girl in the photograph
is desire and fear
softness and style
fantasy and real
The girl in the photograph
is hunger and joy
knowledge and warmth
rebellion and love
The girl in the photograph
is danger and sex
promise and dreams
intelligence and wild
The girl in the photograph
is not mine
but I wish
she was

The photograph here is the stunning English actress Felicity Jones (a long-term crush), and was taken by Mark Abrahams for © GQ Magazine in 2014. Since I posted this a while back she has found much deserved fame in the Star Wars franchise. The poem is not about her.
This is not one of my new ones – I think I first posted it four years ago, but I hope you enjoy. Sometimes I see a girl in a photograph…..
