Sandpaper Kisses, Sinful wishes

Another manifestation of one of my many obsessions...

I didn't invite you here
But it's clear  you aren't leaving
So I might as well offer you a drink
I don't know what to think about you
Which is ironic since I can't get you off my mind
But I'm somewhere between scared shitless and awestruck
with a hint of
Oh My God!
You are such delicious poison
Poised, poignant, and perfect in all the  wrong ways
I could spend days quivering from the power of your gaze
And I have
The last couple of days to be exact
A fact I'm not proud of
Love would be too strong a word
And I'd rather save that for someone who cares
But you're always there in my memory
Just past the brush of yearning fingertips and parted lips
And glassy eyes
It's no surprise you won't leave
I can't let go of that night long past and those
never to be
Especially on days like this
When I miss something that doesn't exist
Sandpaper kisses, sinful wishes
And arms that hold me strong as larch
But what do you expect?
It's March...

yeah, haven't written anything in a while so this was a pretty decent icebreaker!

' Yearning fingertips and parted lips'

That line alone definitely caused arousal
in a few readers.
I am sure perhaps that was not your intention.
Or maybe it was your intention.

Overall, it's a good poem.
I like the contrast in the lines:
' I didn't invite you here
but it's clear you aren't leaving'

Your piece struck many chords and some of its irony is a delight;

'I don't know what to think about you
Which is ironic since I can't get you off my mind'.

The sparsity of rhyme -"ways/gaze" and "larch/March" causes that which you have used to be very potent.

This, to me is a clever, well thought out poem and one I very much enjoyed.
Thank you,

JohnL

And yes, we need to write more! I've been working on it as well but I just have so many ideas to choose from! Dx
