Paper & Pen Hour with Shan. Poem entitled: "Looking"

Looking

by Shan

I'm not looking to flirt,
I'm not looking to share with
you the secrets the lie underneath this skirt, ...or shirt.
I'm not looking to turn you on, I'm not looking to trip when you don't return my phone.....calls.
I'm not looking for any drama at all.

I'm looking for commitment.
Looking drive.
Looking for the tranquility to keep me alive.
Looking for desire, respect, and intellect.
Looking for spirit, mannerisms, poise.

*In the middle of the night, the cops are knocking, neighbors complaining about the noise*

Get it?

Looking for inner strength, character, charm
looking for him to introduce me to his mom.
---And dad, if he's still around.
Looking for humor, the class clown.
Searching all over, my eyes open WIDE!
Until then, behind these I will hide.
Still........Looking.
