PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I saw him again today

he held the door open for me

at the supermarket

with a smile on his entire face

as wide as May

and managed to take my already

strangled breath

why even further away

if you can believe it

I must have been blue

so primitively suave

was he in his laid back

country gentleman's demeanor

he is what he is

a much sought after purebred

of a man

desires own purest reflection

a cascade of

sweet enchanted Ebony

such gloriously touchable inky

black hair

an outstanding inheritance

no doubt

from his generously strong

Indian ancestors

quite tastefully dressed in

western veneer

while ever faithfully shrouded

by that air of romantic mystery

so ruggedly hewn in his stance

and devotedly sculpted from hot

burnished masculine granite

to the point that he's painfully

handsome

I've never known a man of such

caliber

nor so desired one

to simply brush up against such

unmarred perfection

would be the essence of pure grace

itself

his hands so large and beautiful

a work of tender magic

with lips that could fulfill any

galloping female heart's dream

those aching obsidian eyes

actually crinkled up like some

inner deep smile of recognition

to the point where I wanted to scream

just who are you anyway

what is your name

oh, please tell me at least that

you're not gay

make me understand just what it is

that draws me to you

and teach me just a few sentences of

your unique body language

and I will amaze you with my remarkable

fluency

what then

you should bottle that you know

whatever that 'umph' is that you've got

you could make a real lady killer's killing

on it if you packaged it just right

and sold your secret

after all sex appeal sells

ah, but just for a little kiss alone

why, I think I could unknowingly forfeit

my very heart

or maybe even I already had

you could have had me at 'Hello'

'twas that simple..............
