Masquerade

 

And there you are looking stern

With your arms held Akimbo…

Taunting me with your manliness

Leaving my emotions in limbo

 

I tilt my head to quiet the butterflies

And lick my lips nervously

Your intense gaze traveling my neck…

Caressing each curve of my body

 

I feel much like an ocean liner

Full steam ahead out to sea

But your eyes laid anchor to my soul

And stilled my movements completely

 

And then just as suddenly..

Your guard began to drop

The desire you evoked from me

Caused my heart to nearly stop

 

As I backed against the wall

So unsure if my legs would be stable

I raised my hands to you in surrender

Beckoning you to come.. because I’m unable…

 

And there you came looking adorable

With a sly smile that reached your eyes

While peering into their depths

I was thoroughly hypnotized.

 

All that we held back forever..

Like frosted blankets freshly laid

You gently take charge of my very being

And ended this Masquerade…

You know what I like? I like to feel the words not read them, if you know what I mean! Your Poem Masquerade was so emotionally charged, thus it did not just make me feel the words, it made me live them and live the whole situation. I am so happy to read it and I am very very impressed as (I usually am with your writing) very well done again Thunderlyrics, please keep it up and keep writing!
