(Sometimes, I don't want to twist words into cryptic phrases that sound poetic. Sometimes, I just want to adhere to a rhyme scheme and write poetry the way I wrote as a child. So here it is. Because I can. )
I want you.
Before me they parade
In every height and shade
But this eye
Does not pry
It only wants you
They traverse lengths to woo me
Touch every nerve to undo me
And this skin
Won’t listen
It only wants you
A tale spun to draw a laugh
Only has my attention half
This bouche
Is not amused
It only wants you
I recognise how childish the whim
To choose without reason, you over him
But this brain
Defunct, in vain
It only wants you
All rationality is belied again
Knowing this will end in pain
This heart
Plays the fool’s part
It only wants you
Headed for inevitable doom
Still, for hope, I make some room
As I burn
Remain stubborn
And keep wanting you.
So simple and so awesome!
