EnvyA Poem by MaileI wrote this about someone close to me. The feelings have passed, but I still think it captured the moment I fell hard.
Envy I envy many things, many people, and many feelings… I envy the sun because it gets to light up your day and put the beautiful glint in your eye. That glint I know is there even though I never seen your eyes. The sun gets to wrap its light around you and keep you warm, something I long to do. I envy your hair, the way it brushes against your cheek softly. A brush, a simple brush against your cheek. Something I wish to do with a gentle touch every morning. The way it enhances your beauty and encases your gorgeous face. The wind, a gentle breeze lightly kissing your skin. An action I intend on doing when we lay together. A breeze, a whisper against your neck, a whisper of love and devotion. Breathe in your sent and push back out a warm promise to always love you. The beautiful necklace along your collar. The fact that it lays there lifeless without cherishing its position, creates this jealousy within me. It takes a position like that for granted. This place, this sensitive and privileged place that I would kill to be. A place that I would lightly trace with a soothing finger. An envious person I am of all these things that take there existence in your presence for granted. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for a moment, a second, a life time in their shoes. One day…One day I will… © 2009 MaileAuthor's Note
