[bodytext] => Velvet skies are draped lazily upon us The wind is cold but swerves around you Your hair flies back from the icy breeze And your brown eyes look into my pale blue Starlight shines down above you, spotlight I bask in your splendor and you smile sweetly The moon is jealous, all eyes are on you And as you shake your dress discreetly I hesitantly wander forward, my eyes to the ground Trying eagerly to break this awkward silence When from your lips escapes a sound A thank you for the evening and a smile I smile in rebuttal but raise my head and sigh I stare at every individual star, and the moon Then back to you, and laugh at the sky You look at me with quizzical smirk To which I just shake my head and grin I stare deep into your eyes and state clearly “What am I thinking? Where to begin…? These stars are all in awe of you, the moon, more so For the brightest thing which shines tonight Are not the countless rocks in the sky and space But the beauty standing here in my sight Countless years men have dreamed of the stars Begging for a single touch of their life goal Whereas all this time, more beautiful things Are so much closer yet harder to hold” You’re look is unfazed, not processing the words I smile and sigh once more, and get closer still I look into your eyes, surprise filling them And gather up all my courage and will My lips collide with yours, widening your eyes They slowly close as you gently push back Fluttering open, your eyelids reveal brown orbs Sparkling slightly in the midnights’ light and glow I kiss you softly again on the cheek and grin You lean back and the red on your face shows Your smile is sweet and soft hands caress mine You lower your head, resting it on my shoulder You nuzzle it quickly and whisper in my ear “Will you love me when you’re older? Will you continue to hold me the way you are now?” Without a second to think, I instantly replied “yes” “But how do you know?” You retorted “how?” I replied without a trace of hesitation or regret “You are the light that the moon reflects upon me And you set it alight every morning, creating day You are all I hear, all I want, and all I need and see The reason I live, breathe and awake from sleep My everything in which to exchange sweet nothing My eternal reason to try harder and harder To finally become someone and be something I forever long to be loved by you, so please, be calm I will await your feelings in the safety of my dreams Where your love and care will always be mine Though for only a while, no matter how long it seems Every second, every minute, every hour… I will count each one with a different breath, thinking Of your smile, your embrace and your beauty And your voice, as I remain breathing and blinking For this itself is but a dream, a made up fairy tale I have never confessed these things with real tongue As I myself don’t truly understand what I feel Due to lack of experience, or am I too young? I’ll awake in the morning, and fail to tell you this Every single thought I have for you, my dear Though the words from my lips would hurt you As they are unworthy to reach your petite ears But I’ll try harder to become a man, A closer example of perfection in your eye And every time I look at the stars, thinking of you I’ll think of everything you mean and although I cry I smile at the thought of yours, and fall asleep again Ready to repeat this vicious loop of obsession And maybe when you’re with me again You will finally be able to hear this confession” I pushed you away, silver tears ran down your face You disappeared slowly into midnight, sighing You joined those stars in that velvet sky And I watched you sparkle and continued crying Maybe one day I will be with you, only time can tell I play with the grass where you once stood Your scent still lingers in the air above it… Maybe my silence is for the greater good? Why burden you with my childish thoughts? When I’ll inevitably lose to a greater man? But I shall take advantage of what I have And hold you near to me when I can I wake up once again, with the memory of your face Your smile lingering in my frail mind, beaming I smile yet once again a tear trails down my cheek At the realization that I was only dreaming.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
