    Too Pretty

    She's too pretty for me.
    Much.
    She does that one thing that makes me forget
    And
    That other that takes away my breath.
    She puts on that face,
    She bats her (long) eye-lashes,
    She traces my neck,
    She flatters me (far more than she should)
    She suspends my trepedition
    Long enough for my brain to be
    Bombarded with the signal and significance of each touch.
    Long enough for me to want nothing
    But her lips on mine.
    Long enough for me to give in
    And surrender to impulse
    (And the pleasure of pleasing).
    But the question is:
    Is long enough, enough?

    Very eloquently put. Congrats... Read mine sometime.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
