guitar

i lay crooked
between you and the pillows
on your bed
i wanted to watch you
and hear you
strum your guitar
for me
you asked me to smile
like you always do
because you want to see
my one little crooked tooth
you say you didn't fall in
love with me for that
yet every time i smile
you say i love you
with those crinkly blue
eyes smiling in their
corners
i watched your fingers
playing the strings
so gently
and then suddenly with
such passion and i
see it in your
body
the passion you
have
hmm now i can't wait
for you to put that
guitar down.....
and come
play
me
for a while
