Eye Candy

He has a smile resonant of a million stars
All alight
Inhibiting my inhibition to be red-faced
Still, in wanting to be noticed 
My eyes gave chase

I try not to be overly pretentious, though
My actions can sometimes be gullible to his ceremonious façade
He has a certain flirtatious proclivity that’s
Alluring to me inside

And the lining of his presence illuminates 
An impeccable aura of complex desire
I can’t help but daydream of what might transpire

The personification of a blessing
He’s an angel in disguise
A perfect mask of sweetness
He’s candy to my eyes
