he is irish bleach aspiration
and soft ginger silk;
ardent ivory touches
and golden scarlet sparks;
heartfelt conversations
and insightful revelations;

he is immoral indulgences but
never contraband at all;
chartreuse gleaming eyes
and charismatic solace;
once upon a time

incandescent painted skies
and ebony lament nights;

and juvenile antics;

he is genuine geek
and words that can’t be spoken
innocent mockery
and farcical banters;
heartbreaking sniffles
and sad love songs;

he is the man she adores
but he can never know
and they were never meant to be
