If I was to come behind you and whisper in your ear-
where would I put my hands?
And what if by chance my lips happen to touch your ear when I speak,
would your heart jump as mine would?
I long to strip off my clothes and stand next to you, just as naked.
How do you think I would look in comparison to you ?
I am willing to face that embarrassment if it meant
that I could press myself on you feeling your cold marble
somehow warming me.
Let me hug you and kiss your cheek
and let my tears smear into your rock.
Feel me like I feel you,
Because I know you are not just eye candy to be gawked at
but there is another silhouette angle inside you waiting to be set free-
I know it.
If I had to choose
I would not just want to appreciate the beauty of David.
I would not just want to have the beauty of David.
But I would want David to appreciate the beauty of me.

Wow. Have I mentioned you are a poetry genius in the past few days? This is incredible. The title seems too common though, maybe a change there? Possibly make the "Let me hug you..." a new stanza. Oh and I adore the phrase "eye candy" in here.
ReplyDeletebtw-this is shannon. :)
holla!!!!
ReplyDeleteok on a serious note, i just wanted to say,
i love having you in my life and i love our conversations because i know where your beautiful poetry derives from,
thoroughly enjoying, i dont wish to appreciate the beauty of david, nor have it, but i wish david appreciated the beauty of me. It not only gives a more human like quality to the piece which is easy to get lost in when dealing with poetry because it talkes about larger than life concepts, and its the beautiful simplicity of the honesty that makes this piece so wonderful. you say what you feel bluntly, but passionately.
-thanks so much
