Gaze

We marvel at the stars.

I’ve stared at you all night,

But I can’t stop now.

The stars,

Then back to your face

The stars,

Then back to your face.

I’m restrained.

It’s not patience.

To have a taste would be dangerous.

I’m amazed

That you’re here in my bed.

If intentions could undress,

You’d be naked.

My hands free and attracted

like magnets would caress.

Its late. I feel elated.

I fade. I feel awaken.

I savor every gaze I can take in.

You’re not what I’m used to.

You could set me ablaze

and I’d say,

thank you.
