"Fuschia Petals"

This moment I touched
a white, clear view
All I have is a pen and a paper
shouting for attention as if
it'll be all thrown out of the trash
I was contemplating beside the two
significant presence
Gazing obscurely at the vicious
videocams and huge microphones

why is it
I couldn't let my mind
focus to its objectives
in this competetive environment

Why is it that you are in the middle
Of my being
And stucked in my throat like a fishbone

Why is it that I could hear your
shady voice, echoing through my earlobes
amidst these familiar crowd surrounding
the cold and sketchy room?

Your demeanor is all I can see
Outside the bright wall glasses
gaping while my eyes stumbled
through the orange and fuschia petals
flapping...

How elating to feel and smell the
cold and windy air
I suddenly touched
While the rain poured
I looked at the clouds and still
the figure of you is pasted in my view
