If
Poems from Journal Titled, Black and Blue (2018 - 2019
"IF"
Poem derived from my first completed journal, Black and Blue (2018-2019). Written September 5th 2018.
~~~~~~~
If you were to pick up the
phone, write "Can I come over?" and press
send,
If you were to stop me in my footsteps
and tell me I look beautiful today and
you want to see me with something sexier on
this weekend,
If you wanted no one to know who makes your
toes curl up
as I run my nails down your long, strong back,
and we only found our Love in the Sky,
away from anyone who could try to stop us from reaching the
climatic ecstasy that keeps us
sane in an asylum...
If you stopped appearing in my dreams,
and started kissing me goodnight
on my lips down to my waist...
If I wasn't so afraid to tell you
how I really feel
In fear you might judge me
or never want me in the same way...
If only you knew
how much I respect
and admire you and
love how much your smile and laugh spark
the light in my soul,
because you already make my heart
skip a beat when you look into my eyes
knowing you mean business and business only.
If only you knew I felt this way from the beginning...
& time and absence in the heart made this
grow deeper and fonder...
If only something in these lines makes you
feel the same.
