I didn’t notice it at first;
waves of sensuality that continued to trickle,
to wash upon me—
I cannot speak the words,
nor can I hope to describe the storm rising;
his eyes speak in sonnets,
roguishly blue-green—
anchor to world I breathe in.

I like how the intensity of this builds, from
“I didn’t notice it at first”
to
“world I breathe in”

You are truly a romantic! I find myself exhaling a big sigh at the end of every poem of yours that I read! 🙂 “His eyes speak in sonnets” — oh how I LOVE that! 🙂 Reminds of of young Will in that wonderful movie about Shakespeare that Gwyneth Poltrow dresses as a boy to be in one of his plays. Sigh.
