She is
Liquid over ice
slipping past me
whispering across my arm
she brushes
against me
soft flesh and sweet smile
too easy, too serene
melting my resolve
I am drawn to
stand in the sweat
of desire
blind to the confusion
that surrounds me
overtaken by
her sweet taste
and drowned
in the longing of my desire

His heart was a riddle
hidden behind playful eyes
pain below the surface
so leary – no surprise

She broke his heart so easy
tossed aside and second best
his eyes and dreams still follow her
they never seem to rest

At night the longing lingers
Each deepened breath proclaims
She is the only true love
His heart will ever claim

Though others try to solve him
bring him to the couples fold
his heart remains a mystery
His longing left untold
