Wonderful Wonders (poem)

I looked into her eyes today
and I felt a tinge of sweetness
wrapping around my tongue
so tight I couldn't speak
of all the words inside of me

Rest that beautiful smile
Remember that cautious glimpse
Takes my mind for a stroll
Through the back-doors of my heart
And a breath escapes me when I awake

A lust so haunting
It carries my soul and brings it back
A feeling so young
It can only be new
Maybe it's my heart knocking

Head leaned back
eyes closed against the sunset
I can only wish for a chance
for a moment that seems impossible
But it's a chance that seems inevitable
