Tulip from Afar

Her sweet scent sticks in my nostrils

from when we were last met,

remembrance of her lips on mine

inspire song divine.

Though I gaze upon her face in photographs,

angelic beauty replicates not.

Shivers she sends me

over the phone.

Oh, I marvel that we

may speak from such distance,

yet I crave her warm embrace,

her breath in my ear,

whispering gently, it’s ok,

and forever will be.

I long to run my fingers

through her silky black hair,

caressingly **********

her mind and its motives,

the clockwork behind

those deep brown eyes,

two chocolatey oceans of no return.

To feel her lie against me

brings a state: pure ecstasy,

no chemical exists

that can make one feel

as they do when abreast

with a lover. Desire

fills me to be with her

but for now I must settle

to view my tulip

from afar.
