Fantastikal

Twas at a play, I saw his eyes

sparkling in the dark

the actors were "fantastik"

except the one with the obviuos lisp

I noticed his coldness

and the smoothness of his shoulders

from underneath his shawl

and every so often, I'd glance at his face

when he was off in another mind

Yearning to say something-anything-

that I felt at that very moment

How about "I think about you so much, I've memorized your face. How every crease falls softly down to your laughlines and your eyes light up more and more

everytime you smile."

But no, I couldn't say that.

I'm even scaring myself with these new emotions

And yet, I've never wanted anything so much

Never longed this way for a touch

than I have for this boy.

He makes me happy, just from hearing his voice

echoing on my horizon that never rests

And I never truly have peace in my day

Until I see his face.
