Poetry Noir

I’m changing up
showing the world
my face
I was hidden
like M.J’s kids
under a blanket
but now you can see
the flesh behind
these words
i’m introducing
myself now….

I like to be private
it seems that’s exactly
how I like it
people will now
be judging my face
Not just judging what I think
but here I shielded myself
from the bloggee’s
because I don’t think they respond
if you wear a mask
because they want to see
who exactly “you” are
but if you didn’t know
I’m one of the many….stars

you don’t have to look far
because I am dark
I call it poetry noir
Venetian blinds
go vertical
in the dark shadows
of your mind
you will find my words lurking
because they are strong
something like a shot of whiskey
I’ll get you drunk
I’m all you’ll need
so step into the darkness
and let me help you see
