Blue Eyed Boy
Even in a candlelit room
Your blue eyes had such radiance
They hold secrets, stories, security
I gently touched your face
Your breathing became deeper
But your eyes never left mine
Even when our hearts
belonged to others
Our energy never faded
We always come back
But this time
We went further under the sheets
Our legs intertwined
Your head
leaning against mine
I whispered
“Let me trace
Every scar
Every birthmark
Every tattoo
To erase
All the lovers
Who have made you wounded
For I want to be the one
Who causes you goosebumps
At the sound of my voice
I want you
to only remember
The taste of my lips
And the touch
of my tongue
As it glides down your chest
I want your muscles
to stiffen
At the thought
Of my nails
leaving their mark
On your back
I want
your heart
As it is
Jealous
Unsettled
Afraid
Let me shelter it
Until you change
your mind
Or for at least tonight
Until the candles
burn out
And I can no longer
See your blue eyes”
