His Plaid Shirt
His silence
outlines
His beauty
As does
His
shy
demeanor
A small tug
of His
faded
plaid shirt
sends me
into
blind
ecstasy
Mutual acquaintances
have
brought US
together
But not nearly
as together
as
I’d
like
Waist; Body;
Beauty; Smile
A shy smile
with His
eyes down
Bliss
He gives me
a loud peace
Heart,
jumping
in my throat
Will this
ever be?
Leaving him
Irks me
Twists me
Burns me
But I must
Unaware
He is
of
my
lust
for
Him
Pushing me
into the unknown
Without
the satisfaction
of
Knowing Him
Having Him
or
Loving Him
I’m
Left with
my lust
and His
faded
plaid
shirt
