Poem
I know you want to appear tough You want to pull off cool Being a strong macho man That’s part of the unspoken rule I know you act so indifferent When you see me passing by But when I happen to turn around I see raw hunger in your eye And when I stand close beside you I hear you inhale my perfume I can tell it’s so hard for you Your work to try to resume And then there is the silence As you search for words so bland You try for nonchalance As you steady your shaking hand I glow inside as I read All those little tattle tale signs You are so intent to hide That your heart’s already mine When we all piled up in his car I had to lean back on your chest The erratic beat of your heart Made me know I’d won the test I recall you opened the door To let me in to the evening of glee I wish you could have seen your face Your eyes were devouring me You tried to talk to other girls But your eyes never left my face You were staking out your claim Your reactions I could trace Oh, that sweet surge of power To know that I could dominate That I could turn strength to weakness Because your desires I captivate I made my way to where you stand A slow and swaying stride You looked at me perplexed When I asked you to go outside I wondered if they could feel The burning heat in your stare If they could see the passion That in your eyes was laid bare We stood outside in silence As we drank in the city lights The moon and the stars were alive Lending magic to this night I had become impatient To claim sweet victory When I turned my face to you I saw you looking down at me Your craving was unguarded Your sheer presence made me melt You took a step much closer Fate a different hand had dealt “Is there something the matter?” Your voice caressed me with concern I couldn’t find words to answer I felt my cheeks quickly burn I knew your pride was wounded For I once already said, “NO.” But now you were my obsession How could I let you know? With feigned calmness you stood waiting Self-preservation mode in the way I frantically clutched at the moment Not knowing what I could say It was now or lose you forever My breath came out in a gasp “I really want you to…..kiss me To claim me as yours at last.” The words were barely out When your lips closed over mine You crushed my body gainst yours Made me lost to the world and time I tasted pure delirium My senses all aflame There was no way to even try Your flames of passion to tame But you pulled away one moment Fighting to regain lost control I could see pride harden your face “Do you think I have no soul? You tortured and you crushed me Teased me with each toss of your hair Do you know how long I have waited? Am I just a toy or some dare?” My life now hung in the balance For could I try to make you see That my heart was now so ready For your love to set me free I stood inches from your face “My love, this you cannot miss” I kissed you with passion of legions “Your answer is here in my kiss.” Sweet reader, I’ll pull the curtain On all the wonder of that night One of passion’s greatest triumphs To rival legends saw the light.
