Tantalizing

I have seen that her eyes are sharp. Her eyes are sharp and attentive But still I dare not encounter them. They hold my head captive. I have seen that her nose is stern. Her nose is stern and aiming But still that nose I cannot pinch. It torments my eyes, straining. I found that her lips are of flesh. Her lips are fleshy and amorous But still the very lips I cannot caress. They render my lips nervous. I like her face being slim and slender. Her face is slim and passionate But still I cannot claim that of her. It keeps my brain desolate. I wonder how nimble her limbs are. Her limbs are nimble and at hand But still to touch them I don’t dare. They set my belly to grind. I understand that her vibes is strong. Her vibes is strong and resonant But still me she chose to tantalize. She left my soul poignant. Total reticence from her Might have been better Rather than raising hope And then belying it. 05.05.99
