Boy

Listen to poem:

She warms my heart
I'm not sure how
She lights a fuse
And soon.. kerpow!

My love it swells
Her voice 
Like angels' clanging bells

She wakes me up
I feel alive
Her face a feast
On which I thrive

Such lovely jawline
Perfect skin
Her posture
Perfect mannequin

I love her walk
I love her clothing
Find something wrong?
I see no thing

Her curves delight
We chat so long 
Into the night

Her arms entwine
Her hands just beauty
In beastly mine

I've never liked someone like this
My heart beat falters
As lips I kiss

Balcony we sit
As shoulders touch
I like this girl
Says boy

So much
