Another Secret Love Poem

Burning inside

You reignited my chasm of a figuratively speaking dormant vessel, so before it dies out again

Mulatto wanted to let you know he stalked you. He watched the way your body found comfort on chair, torques dress I would mention your waist but I'm afraid I'd get the size wrong; and we'd laugh about it then you'd tell me I'm rude and smile with peach lips and crimson rose gold checks.

Your skin tone stone that's a fashion reference to a colour your muscle structure was coated with and wore well in season, I went there simplifying human anatomy

As light brought out the gold on surface levels of tissue

I'm a crier but the good kind not the bad so I'd kindly ask for tissue for this but since I've learned how to forget how to cry; so I shall drift and abandon these lost emotions.

Like empty cars on Hillbrows streets. I lost momentum as I was driven by your kinetic energy that found joy in being treated like a woman emerald ruby gold chested.

I found new light in you as simple chairs became thrones to a Queen only jokers dreamed upon marrying.
