I adore
the soft
slow
sensual
sound
the tongue
of the zipper
makes
tantalizingly
releasing teeth
and baring skin
as you
undo
your dress.

I am captivated
enchanted
enthralled
inspired
made hungry
made breathless
made hard
by the hem
of your skirt
as it rides up
high
on your thigh.
.
Moments
like these
make me believe
there might just be
a god.

A girl like you.
In my youth I would have fought other boys for the right to walk you home. Wearing the scars like a badge. Or I would have wandered backwards and forwards past your house, hoping to catch a glimpse of you at a window. Or long for you to see me, a shadowy figure beneath the street light, and think me romantic.
In my youth I would have carved presumptuous initials into innocent trees, into battered park benches, into tables, and desks, and the backs of chairs – not caring if I was caught. Or that you would disapprove if you knew.
In my youth I would have sought you out at dances, making a mess of my over-rehearsed lines. I would have asked a friend to give you messages – which you would probably receive with a frown.
In my youth I would have made up a hundred heroic stories in my head where I come to your rescue. Saving you from the clutches of the mob, the grip of an assailant, the jaws of death. Or perhaps just finding your lost dog.
In my youth I would have written you tortured poems, toiled over for hours, scrawled on stolen paper, that would never leave the pocket of my faded denim jeans.
In my youth I would have wished for the internet, if I could have seen into the future.
Yet here I am. Connection at my fingertips. Posting pointless poetry.
That you will probably never read
A girl like you.

I am not obsessive
in any way,
nor compulsive
by nature.
.
I do not have fetishes
or fixations,
crazes
crushes
cravings,
infatuations
or fads.
.
I do not have dependencies
or tendencies
towards addiction
.
But I truly
cannot get enough
of your body.

Written a couple of years ago, but there are sometimes moments like these ….
