Caramel Complexity
Your hair is dark,
Your stature petite
If your beauty was my opponent
I would already concede defeat
Smooth and soft,
Silk is what describes you
To describe your skin,
I couldn't do it in a haiku
The reason being
Your beauty is divine
Delve into fantasy
Wishing you were mine
Soaring to the stars
Breaching past a cloud
My mind comes to panic
When I hear this beauty's sound
Her voice is soft
Her eyes hypnotize
Your heart like a pool
Where I would dip inside
Maybe it's lust
Maybe something more
Who knows exactly
What this future holds in store
But for now I contemplate
Wait for the proper time
I don't know your name,
And you surely don't know mine
You pass me a gaze
Confusion in the highest
I guess the question is
Which one of us is shyest?
Yet another gaze
This one directly to my eyes
Am I a fool?
Am I letting this chance pass by?
I remain serene
Looking confident on the surface
Why the smiles and gazes
What is their actual purpose?
Unsure and in doubt
I formulate a plan
I summon courage
For courage is what makes a man
The action is about to begin
When I tell you to sit next to me
I do not know what to call you,
So for now it will be caramel complexity
