Your Face
I found the photo
quite by surprise and drank in your features
at my leisure...delighted to be able to study your face
without you knowing I was looking.
Oh...endearing sweet smile making my heart
bubble like hot cocoa
I would tell you handsome---
but you would never accept that word,
tell me i am blinded by love,
goofy with admiration.
So I will say this instead:
your face made me smile and blush,
made me want to kiss the corners of your mouth
to tickle a laugh from you,
made me want to cover a page with hearts
with our initials in them,
made me want to hide in your garden in the moonlight
and hope the whole night that you would find me.
Your face is an arrangement of features
that i love
and you are the man
i long for dusk to dawn.
Did I tell you I liked your face?
Good.
I Do.
I love it when you blush like that, by the way.
