Glitter

I’m watching you as I write
Your pen in your mouth
Your legs perpendicular to mine
That look you have when you’re focused
The one I love being the object of
The one where I feel you swimming in my eyes

You shift and adjust
I stare as I must
Helpless as your hand brushes my leg
Hopeless to the feeling that erupts

Beautiful clouds swirling
A thousand specks winking
Swirling down and settling
To kiss the surface of my skin.

A beauty that can only be felt:
The way you make me melt
To the tips of your fingers, I knelt
Presenting my aching body and heart.

You sense my body tense
You tilt your head and smile
Your eyes iridescent in my light
Irises like suns in a green-gray sky
In them, a wink of cheeky knowing

The glitter of love you make me feel
Could make a billion butterflies soar,
It makes me write.
