the moonlight caressed her cheeks
as she took a long drag from that cigarette
between those
long, thin fingers.
cotton *******,
***** socks,
skinned knees.
shimming along with the rich sounds
of guitar and French tongue.
soft coffee bean coloured waves in her hair
bounced along with the rest of her body.
warm vanilla perfume,
dabbed behind her ears.
i wanted to be behind her ears.
i wanted my lips pressed up against there.
i wanted to line her shelf-like collarbones
with strawberries
from my teeth.
i did not just long to taste her,
i wanted to savor her.
she's the kind of woman with the scent
you'd remember forever.
you could write an entire novel about
the slight curvature of her spine,
and the way it would mold into the
pit of your stomach perfectly.
she's a 'once in a blue moon'
but with the warmth of the august sun.
this is just a poem about how i wished a boy would think about me, to be quite honest.
