A FAIRY TALE PARODY

Folder: 
JOURNAL#16

hear me sharply when I say

I am at your dearest desire's disposal

in every accountable way

the spirit of spontaneity moves me

the welcome breeze of your warm, close

breath teases the spark of my whimsical

imagination

utterly guileless yet lecherously enchanted

is my fall of lust into you

emerald pools of exquisite hypnotic want

drown me ever so thankfully

within their sinfully shimmering waters

my knees quiver and quake

embarrassingly so at the mere peaking of just

one tantalizingly taut, perfect male pectoral

crest

my quickened breath becomes stolen by my first

full uninterrupted view of such a state of the

art and quite undeniably masculine chest

I am as such, the vision of a fool in high heels

standing too nervously before you

and quite obviously over dressed

though my actual clothing remains despairingly

enough intact

still, your magnificent gaze strips me

shamelessly bare

in a crowded room flooded by cloned Mel Gibsons

still, it is of you that I am solely aware

I recognize all too easily such emotional ailment

and all the reoccurring symptoms of my case

that one who is in fine tune to mutual desire

could guess

why, I suffer unbearably from the unrequited

want and despair of you with the over powering

grip stemming from the promise of such sweet,

sweet indefinable madness

and now if only such eyes could indeed be

outlawed

a much truer hold upon my own rapidly overheated

thoughts

I could much more honestly possess

but that couldn't make either of us any the more

happier now could it?...............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

a crush on a fellow who use to come into the store I was working in. He was just a customer other than hello and see you later we hardly had any conversation but crushes are not so easily controllable so I expressed my pent up desires in a poem to alleviate my unrequited feelings. To this day, I don't think I ever learned the man's name even.
