i like you
white girl.
you need a smile
which i shall give to you.
it's the obvious
that should prove true,
move you to clear your head,
fill the void in your chest,
and though i tease you
it's for the best,
you keep my infatuations on edge,
sharpened.
of what i've seen
peering back at me through eyes like a soft caress,
reflecting all those things you keep unsaid,
i am fascinated.
i cannot wait to get you open,
to feel your effect consume me.
(any part left that it hasn't already)
your mouth, from which i blush
holds me in the innocence
of it's locked secrets.
i fumble blindly for my key...
unknowing.
from my bed, i dream of sensual nothings,
that have been stirred, but never awakened.
you know of that place within ourselves we hardly trust
where desires can't be hushed,
and the welcome of risk
unburdens her bliss, to make us feel
inadequate.
(as though we've never lived.)
let's re-learn the passion of a kiss,
as outside we burn up into ashes.
the rebirth of your trust, through faith
allowing you to realize,
that everything you have sacrificed in the past,
has not been lost, just misplaced.
you've always been whole.
i'll remind you
as you close your eyes,
that the significance of love,
where i am stemming from, begins with us
and you'll laugh at how simple it all is
as you cry in the sigh of a soft release,
at the words in my poem,
and what they mean
you will not believe,
but i promise this:
i have barely scratched the surface of what could be.
but more, later
unveiled, like happy endings,
and the laughter, of a child
you will remember, in great detail
the feeling, of my words
as i have lead you, to smile.
