#infatuations
How can you write a book about a week It starts with being nervous You spend 6 hours, time flies And leave it wanting more and weak at the knees Then you promise to meet the next day He surprises you with his words And danishes at breakfast Think he feels the same You meet day after day trying to communicate Listening to the songs & Trying to sort- what’s on the table and what’s off Trying to feel the softness Trying to figure There are no triggers You feel happy, part in a fairytale The noise drowns around you The glances The touches The couches :) The softness you feel inside And the butterflies :) You talk and you talk, over dinner, over coffee You try to keep it honest and say things that feel like a promise He comes home, you speak of kisses and sigh You hug and you say good bye When he walks away you know you are not alone You will meet again You meet again, he sleeps He walks away again and you don’t weep You know it in your heart, it is only the start

Fortuitous or meant to be
You pretend to be happy even when your sad inside and I fall for it Act like you don't need my company & yet you do Blame me even when nothing is wrong & I say sorry I believe whatever you say even when I know it isn't true It's like you cast a spell that addled me when with you Maybe I'm desperate Maybe I'm sheepishly falling for you even when your flaws are more sinister than the devil's own Unconditional love orchestrated by all means your irresistible Give me reasons to believe this is genuine love and not an infatuation.

Give me reasons
Enclosed in a room when I saw her for the first time, With the beige attire that made her glow in the light, Her face so pretty, and her hair so sleek, But her smile was the thing that made my day complete… The aura that surrounded her was so peculiar, The glee in her eyes conveyed that no sadness can come near, Her petite stature seemed like a sculpture made with utmost care, Even the sculptor, I guess, couldn’t help but marvel at the wonder he made… As she manifested in front of me our eyes met at first, I couldn’t help but notice her lips with that supple curve, Never was I so conscious about the way my heart beats, Never did I know my mind had the ability to stop thinking in the moment of need… Her dainty hands moved swiftly across the foosball table, The warmth of her presence perfectly complemented the weather, The cheerfulness of hers felt like a bliss to be a part of, Her leap of excitement exhibited the sweetness she was made of… As the game progressed the score-line moved up and down, And though I was losing the game, for the first time I didn’t frown, Maybe her body across the table was the reason behind my calmness, The game ended up with me winning but somewhy my heart muttered, **** it.” She hung her bag over her shoulders and began walking away, For some reason I wished the time would freeze and make her stay, But she turned that moment upside down, like she heard my heart’s cry, As she turned her beautiful eyes on me and muttered a soft, “bye.”

The First Moment...

I thought someone like you Could never like someone like me So I didn't want to cave in Didn't want to feel anything for you But then you outstretched your hand So I placed mine there I didn't think you'd be weaving our fingers together I thought coloring was just A normal day in the neighborhood "I want this one" You leaned over my paper, Pointing at that zing sag scarf "To be red and green, Like Christmas" I didn't realize our chairs were touching I thought it was an accident That our thighs were together too I thought an invitation to Church was an act of discipling And that you wouldn't be too Bummed if I couldn't make it today I thought someone like you Could never like someone like me But hey, I guess I thought wrong

I Guess I Thought Wrong
There is a stone cage Built slowly, over years Broken down again and again Foul hands digging into its carcass Rending, tearing, destroying To get at the sweet nectar of my soul Blood dripping from hands I love you i'm sorry I love you Walls laced with iron and steel Less malleable, less breakable Build and build and build He says he wouldn't hurt me Such savagery is beyond him But I know his type The ones with the blue eyes And the soft lips and the warm hands Inside they're cold cold cold Getting close enough to kiss Before the torture starts My walls will not be molded For him to climb over and into me I'll bleed him first if it means He is too tired to hold me for i will never be harmed again

Armour your heart, child
We all wait for that one moment to take the bait jump to a conclusion from this sweetness around and suddenly all seems to fall in place, among all this chaos from tangled knots of your shoe-lace to your mind and it's bias. You feel now you can think straight though not sure of the path ahead. All pragmatism goes down the drain and my dear, we fall in love again.
