Pretty lady



So pretty!

A photograph that caught my eye

I nearly missed it and passed right by

She is so pretty her beauty hit me

Like down for the count come and get me

My pulse quickened with the beat of my heart

Her hair frames her face like a rare work of art

Her beauty was soft and very feminine

Something primal I had to look again

I was captivated

My pulse was elevated

I stared at her face and I felt inebriated

I was drunk on her beauty

As I imagined she knew me

I daydreamed as your eyes looked right through me

I wanted to breathe you in

I never had but I wanted to touch you again

I was just mesmerized locked on your eyes

My heart beating fast as you flooded my mind

Like your pheromones targeted my home

Entered my space and sank into the bone

I imagined the curves of your body

The feel of your skin and your scent was hypnotic

What started as a daydream had now become a fantasy

The beauty of her face was real and had really come over me

It was familiar somehow

But I hadn't seen her till now

I wanted to tell her all of this but didn't know how

I'm entertaining thoughts of us, and I'm doing it now

I love your face as we press our lips together

I crave your taste

Lips warm like a sweater

Gentle and fragrant

Feminine and I imagine she's patient

I don't really believe in love at first sight

But infatuation is something that I just might

Consumed with thoughts of her just speaking to me

Just the two of us with nobody in-between

I have never had that kind of openness

I hope this isn't to forward miss

Regardless of what you choose to do

I thought you should know I have a crush on you

You're not so secret admirer

Jim Holmes
