Notes About The Poem

Indescribable

You step out from the dark
the moonlight baths you.
Reflections dance against 
your silky skin calling
out to me once again.

I find it impossible 
to describe the way your 
slow deliberate movements 
mesmerizes and hypnotizes.

I watch you 
and I try to breathe
but you've stolen the
air from my lungs
along with my heart beat.

You float towards me
Indescribable
like the Mona Lisa
or precious art 
a look that cannot 
be described because 
the explanation is lost 
in the viewer's eyes.

The same moonlight 
that bathes you 
surrounds me and 
I'm so very lost in my own 
desires that can no longer 
remain secret with you 
flaming their fires.

I can't make sense of my 
normal rhymes and I'm frozen, 
a prisoner in your time.
Words won't express my lust
and my ink dries 
and crumbles to dust.

I raise my eyes to yours
hoping to be found
you open your flood gates
and I began to drown.

The world stops. 
I'm lost now, so many years 
of you playing with my soul
bathing in my tears.

By now, you're so close 
I could touch you
But you know I'll never try
I can't move, or look away
I'm lost within your eyes.

I tremble for release
I quake in your proximity
Can't you see my darling
what you are doing to me?
