As the shades of night are pulled
The heady scent of jasmine dances on midnight breezes
Cool and uplifting
You gaze at me with those ambiguous eyes
Hypnotic, sensuous,
I wonder what is rippling over your stream of consciousness
Innocence or burning desire
Guilt or regret?
You set my heart ablaze
Every smile, every gesture,
With those questioning eyes,
I flush red, invisible in this fragrant air
I am awkward
I stumble
Submerged in the total of you.
And this turmoil in my mind
Of \\\"this can never be\\\"
A dangerous game
Misinterpretation on my part
A flirt
Over zealous
Embarrassing
But to touch you......
To seduce you....
Would be a crime for which I would do life!!
