Fy Lufu: Letter One

Fy Lufu,

 

Long and lean

in body and mind

every muscle toned

and keen

 

Across the room you enter

I sit here in my chair

And hold my breath

As you hold my gaze

A knowing smile on your face

 

Strong and sure you stand

I sway, swoon, and tremble

We are preditor and prey

But the roles reverse each day

 

Today you gaze

As I look away

I'm not yours to take

Because of my mistake

 

I'm sorry for this

If I had known

But I guess I did

 

If I had acknowledged

These feelings within

 

 -Caru
