A Crush
A crush!
How shall I describe it?
It is like being infatuated with the sky-
you may see it, but it does not smile
or exhibit any sign of recognition
of your existence. It is like being in
the shoes of one committing a clandestine maneuver,
where the streetlight beams upon you, a sin
to be so captivated, yet your boldness
cannot be seen by the dark.
A longing for a distant, lovely place but
in the end, one merely sees a scene, stark-
and ever present. Gloomy, yes,
yet the feeling is pleasant, like a quick
rising spring breeze, turbulent in the
chest, uttered in an ecstatic giggle.
Oh, the many worlds that gravitate
towards my heart! My thoughts send but one signal,
"Send me to the one I long for. Reality,
leave me be! Give me the key
so that I and my companion, Imagination
can embark on the journey to the boundless seas
of my Creativity!"
So, in short,
I am already victorious.
My imprisoned heart
has been released to my beloved.
He, unknowing, owns it full
and I, in full awareness smile.
I relish thoughts and their seductive lull!
