A Poet's Crush

I've seen you through a past sunrise; sunshine. You are like heat, warm to indulge in Identify you, connect with you, and more. Living in a world that is filled with poetry Opening the skies is possible with just one kiss Writing side-by-side continuously. Intoxicated with illusions, swept away in seconds In a separate universe, a different existence I carry a pen that is a secret to my soul Hidden in the recesses of thoughts. A small gap, but worlds apart. Two souls secretly filling a pool with thoughts Allowing ourselves to be swept away by words. Dominating the mind to chase and suit my mood Allowing myself to take pleasure in your addiction Writing 'WITH' throughout the years You are the crush I can write endless stories about. The rush of wild dreams, kind words, pouring like rain Understanding and empathizing with each other's pain Physically I can't hold you, but mentally, you hold a place. You shine like a star when I'm in need A simple hello opens the door, I've kept shut Only you can intrude every year since we crossed pens Imagine a lifetime captured by silence Slowly trying to create words, Outlining the shape of your thoughts A crush, unwrinkled and without complaints. ~~~ By P.D. Oh, that desperate ache Each day that wakes And that secret chamber of my Beating heart occupied by your Humble words were written for me And captured my gaze I see you across the painful horizon But I still focus my eyes on What my heart instantly felt At the moment our connection melted Into my searching soul And made me almost whole So do I consider myself a stalker A Gawker or just a shy talker Afraid to show this crush Just how much I crave to touch What seems untouchable Is it really meant for me So still I silently hover like Another unfulfilled lover As I pray she glances my way And that smile that's lost In all the weary miles Breaks forth and blesses my day ~~~ Carl F.
