It crept up on me
Your energy
My smile that lingered
How my eyes lowered
You're a voice
I'm trying to tune into
The tones of which
I wish I knew
An unexpected wave
Crashed over me
I've never danced like this
With a man like you
On shifting sand like this
I fear I've mistaken you
I flicker to flame
I feel something inside you
Something adrift
Concealed under cotton
Thick wool with a ragged edge
Or loose thread
That might catch on something
Slowly unravel
A story unbound
From leathery shackles
I feel like
You could consume me whole
I play mental gymnastics
Knowing I must not
Let these feelings travel my body
But
My eyes wish
They could speak
To yours
Pulling you inwards
My hands are outstretched
Palms open
Each thrill you bring me
Veiled with longing
Laced with guilt
Yet
I would melt into you
Given half a chance
Just to know you
From the inside, out.
