it started with a smirk,<\/p>\n
she lighted my candles with the smallest of sparks,<\/p>\n
she then made eyecontact,<\/p>\n
i was baited,<\/p>\n
the blessing i got from Christ to write,<\/p>\n
about moments so pure,<\/p>\n
her smirk lit the candle stick that was my attention,<\/p>\n
the smirk turned into a grin,<\/p>\n
hooked,<\/p>\n
the struggle was to shy away from the eyecontact,<\/p>\n
maybe she felt like i was the one,<\/p>\n
maybe the same way i was feeling,<\/p>\n
still hooked,<\/p>\n
mentally shook,<\/p>\n
looked at my zip,<\/p>\n
thinking the look was because i was unhooked,<\/p>\n
i’m wearing joggers!<\/p>\n
emotionally took,<\/p>\n
to the bleachers,<\/p>\n
the bulb switched on,<\/p>\n
she had planted her roots,<\/p>\n
here’s a little boy in a man’s body,<\/p>\n
shacking to my boots,<\/p>\n
smirk bait,<\/p>\n
grin bait,<\/p>\n
the voice atook,<\/p>\n
dragged me to cloud 9,<\/p>\n
wait she made the fist move,<\/p>\n
you slack again,<\/p>\n
still deep in my thoughts,<\/p>\n
accepting the in my presence God’s angel,<\/p>\n
who had done one over me,<\/p>\n
bait, hook and took,<\/p>\n
i stopped starring,<\/p>\n
her face beautiful,<\/p>\n
afraid if i gaze too long i’ll be awestruck,<\/p>\n
the arrival of a kind sun,<\/p>\n
she was made for me,<\/p>\n
well i thought so,<\/p>\n
the sun sets too,<\/p>\n
but our frequent on and off romances lit my insecurities out in the open,<\/p>\n
her souls sun burnt them crisp,<\/p>\n
it was all too much to handle,<\/p>\n
the more i spent time with her,<\/p>\n
the more i became tipsy,<\/p>\n
i thank God for her,<\/p>\n
