Her eyes are glowing rubies
Her hair is crimson; flowing beauty
Her aura is an avalanche, the snow ensues me.
How, oh, how could this happen to me?!
Her smile peels back the curtains on the sunshine
And pulls open my chest, like Clark Kent's shirt when it's punch time
Then caresses my heart as if her love was mine
And she would never know
But that is much better though.
Her face glows
Her shape flows
She makes me wish I could see her face at every day's beginning and every day's close.
How could this be?!
I despise romancing!
What potion has entranced me?
I never believed in love at first sight
Until I saw her.
I do not believe in love
Except the agape kind.
But every time I see her
The image remains branded on my mind.
I see her smile expand to fullness in slow motion;
Memorized.
Mesmerized.
Terrorized.
This is impossible!
I am a Stoic!
And yet,
I am a poet.
I could see beauty in the hideous,
Draw meaning from the frivolous,
Confound the wittiest
But now I'm just an idiot.
Because instead of harnessing beauty,
Beauty has harnessed me.
Just days ago, she sat in a car with me
But if she ever knew these thoughts, she'd stay far from me.
I write this in hopes to expel this foolish infatuation
Of a hormonal child awaiting maturation.
See, she makes me think of a life that is merely a fancy,
The simple thought of her makes my heart get antsy
I don't know why, to me, she seems so beyond the usual
And the fact of our different races makes it all seem even more beautiful.
I will look away when in her presence,
Even as I exchange a sentence
No more to be subdued by her essence
And feel like the lowest of peasants.
I do not need her
I will not seek her
I will not flee her
I will not squeeze her
No reveries of a life of me and her
She brings me from equilibrium to ecstasy at her leisure,
And this
Is why I hate to see her.
