Behold the Secret Crush

Had you moved a little bit closer,
You would have heard me loud and clear.
Perceived this chaos and din 
I’m rumbling from within.
Throbbing your name like 
drum from the start,
 I am her
 beating
heart.


Had you listened to me intensely,
You would have known this fantasy.
I’ve dreamt of you night and day,
Oh, yearning secretly.
I beg of you, to
me please be kind,
I am her
foolish
mind.


Had you looked deeper into her eyes,
You would have seen the love that sighs.
I’m the window to her core,
It’s you whom she adore.
Yes, I witness how
you make her whole,
I am her
wishful
soul.
		

My secret divulged all three of them,
Way past the facade of this femme.
Childish whim, look what you’ve done,
Alas, this ain’t no fun!
Having you near me
I feel the rush,
‘Coz you’re my
secret
crush.

What a feeling having a crush, even better when it's reciprocated. Form captured and written splendidly, James .........

Three of my favourite subjects in one poem. No hiding behind a facade here..if he can't face your honesty then he's not for you. Trust you are being honest with him. Intimate and revealing. Thank you Ara
