Your solemn gaze and quiet
mouth traces name on the
misted mirror and smiles at
the blush suffusing my skin.

It’s impossible to believe that
the world doesn’t desire you
the way I do.

So soft, so sensual, so unreal
the way you put your lips on
mine, when only the night is
awake with tip of blue waves
caressing the shoreline.

Sometimes I feel your features
see deep into my soul, silently
singing thoughts which even I
have no idea about.

How’s it that my heart pounds
in ways it hasn’t before?

At dawn, when sun kisses the
awakening sky, it’s impossible
yes impossible to believe that
the world doesn’t desire you
the way I do.
