By Shelby "Mahogany Wilson"
You appear in my world unnoticed
So debonair
Sweet succulent passionate being
The thrill of a new beginning
seeping through my pores
strong structural body stood before me unclothed
Naked before my soul
You entrenched upon my thought patterns with small pulses
A spine tingling sensation paralyzes my body
I underrate the effects and forgot my manners
I stole and lied to hold one more glimpse
Just one more kiss, touch, moment
With every stoke, I carve your impression in my mind
Each dimple, scar, mole, tattoo and uneven pattern
My hands and eyes shall hold the image
My heart feels weak with confusion
This body before me will appear again and again
Because you are forever carved in my memory
As the one who stole my breath
