Just LongingA Poem by Claire
I want her.
the frilly, cuffed socks bit I want the crisp collared linen adorning her shoulder-tops, I want our smiles parallel. I want her smirk and side eye, smoldering and tantalizing. I want to admire her as she fluffs powder onto her cheeks, I want to scrutinize the details of her pinky ring, while I'm clasping her hand. I want to take her for a spin in her evening gown; I want diamonds adorning her collarbones, and the most superlative lace. I want to cull the lint off her tan, cashmere jumper; I want to brew her a piping warm cup of earl grey. I want to look down and see our legs walking in sync, amidst red and yellow autumn leaves. I want to play with the waves in her hair; I want to draw patterns on her palm. I want to hear the crunch of frost under our boots as we travel to town. I want her beautiful laugh echoing in my ears always, I want her kisses to calm my hearts' beating. I want to tie her frayed shoelaces together, I want to run my fingers through her hair. I want her rough denim jacket laying on my floor, her thrifted shoes scattered around my room I dreamt of her and I. © 2016 Claire |
