this boy

let me start with the basic point,

i am in love 

to this boy who is barely above his  thirteen

he is ugly 

not tall and not even strong

and one cannot say he is handsome.

yet there is something

 some magic, some devilry

that adds to his flair and chivalry

it may be his senses or his mind

or it may be his words or actions

the sly wit, the coy expressions

the silly daring reactions

that contribute to the charisma unbeatable

 clean, rough, rugged with a tiny hint of  sweet  

i desire an intimacy with this creature

not possibly in a bed

nor do i see us gathering kisses

in the cozy lovers embrace

yet touching him is remotely possible 

to remain unknown yet acquainted

before the ground swallows me,

i have a confession to make

to devil who chooses to hear 

a confusion's so unfair

can there be love 

without a percent of lust?

or it may be an infatuation affair

for a girl of twelve to love a boy

is it really that rare?
