A Gaze (Let Me Look)
You look...
Amazing...
Why do I see you
In this lustrous way?
Why do I lie
To myself and others
About my feelings,
Urges, and tension?
All I can do
Is sit.
Breathe in and out.
As I look across
The path that separates us,
I feel a spark.
Maybe it was sent
From above.
When our eyes meet,
I gaze deeply into yours.
I can’t even speak.
You are gorgeous.
Let me digest
Your delicious features,
And handsome looks.
You look at me,
And blush.
You understand
My expression.
Maybe...
You feel...
Something, too?
We gaze at each other,
Falling into a
Gray haze
Of friendly intention.
A sort of...
Heat,
Not to mention.
I can feel your fire,
Burning inside your heart,
Mind, and soul.
At least,
That is what
My heart
Has told
Me.
You look away,
As that flame flickers,
Giving you
Some curious jitters.
Why do we have
To play this game?
A game of interesting looks,
Dealt with cards
In the suit of hearts.
I want to look
At you, and in your
Eyes...
As I recite a poetic phrase.
One that may convey
My message.
I can’t tell you this, though.
I wish that wasn’t so.
I am only human.
So I will imagine.
I will think of you,
And in my mind,
Silently gaze.
Let me gaze.
Let me look.
Seeing you
Is all it took.
