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

This is not one of my new ones – I think I first posted it seven years ago, but I hope you enjoy. Sometimes I see a girl in a photograph…..

This poem and presentation catch my soul and won’t let go. I have a girl in a photograph, she is all these things, and she is mine. — kenne
