Her tone monotonous,
She relates the events
Of an uninteresting Saturday
I nod politely:
Occasionally laugh;
Pretend
I am actually listening
My eyes flicker constantly,
Uncontrollably,
Like a thin candle flame;
The passion of my heart
Dictates their movement
I see you, just standing,
Talking,
Blissfully unaware
Of the onlooker
Who’s always loved you,
Always will
Your hair: it’s luscious,
Chocolate brown,
Loosely curled
Upon the crown of your head
Your skin: it’s unblemished,
Covers your lean, muscular body,
Is the tone
Of creamy alabaster
Your face: it’s exquisite,
Divinely crafted,
Chiselled:
A work of the Gods
Every time I lay my eyes upon you,
My heart begins to race;
Intricate knots
Twist inside my stomach;
My body aches
With desire, with want
I yearn to feel your touch
Upon my skin;
I crave the tenderness of your lips
Pressed against my neck
‘What are you looking at?’
My vacant eyes snap back,
Focus upon
The girl stood before me.
She gives me a coy smile,
Twists her head
To stare behind
‘Oh, nothing!’
I exclaim,
The longing inside of me
Searing at my bones.
‘Just the clock.’
