Valentine’s Day is approaching. So it’s time to pluck at some heart-strings… Here’s a new poem…
SORCERY
You are …
Smiling…
Weaving spells
of bliss around me
Breathing
stilled…
Stopped
Only biology forcing
air back into lungs,
Automatically
For you…
You are a thief –
Stealing my breath
Easily
Leaving me in awe
At the magnitude of your beauty
And, as I stand stupefied
I watch you leave
With my heart tucked under your arm.
For your smile …
Your smile is enchanting
And I
Am rooted to the spot
Unable to move.
I am wrapped inside a cocoon of caresses
All felt within my soul
Even though only our eyes touched
The beauty of Africa
shines from your smile
Elegance of melanin
radiates from your skin
Begging me to touch it
Stroke it
Get lost in it
May I
Revel in it …
Revel in you?
I want to …
But….
You have to first
Kiss me
Release me
From the spells
In your smile….
