Eyes
Each  glow
Pleasant   smile
Moment      lingers
Your  curly  brown  hair
Showering strong shoulders
Every    breath   filling    bosom
Lusciousness,    sinuously    moves
Flowing  across  the  room,  wild river
Frozen deer  I become,  looking but not,
Round,  wide  eyes  misdirecting intention
Obvious  I’m caught.   Could you  be too?
Meeting for the first  time, crowds part
S m i l i n g  d e s p i t e   m y s e l f
Te l e g r a p h i n g  i n t e n t
All    pretense    forgone
Reaching    deeply
I  asked you
Now my
Girl
