Love Poem: Blue Eyed Boy

Blue Eyed Boy

Even in a candlelit room 
Your blue eyes had such radiance 
They hold secrets, stories, security 

I gently touched your face 
Your breathing became deeper 
But your eyes never left mine 

Even when our hearts 
belonged to others 
Our energy never faded 

We always come back 
But this time 
We went further under the sheets 

Our legs intertwined
Your head 
leaning against mine 

I whispered 
“Let me trace 
Every scar 
Every birthmark 
Every tattoo

To erase 
All the lovers
Who have made you wounded

For I want to be the one 
Who causes you goosebumps 
At the sound of my voice 

I want you 
to only remember 
The taste of my lips 

And the touch
of my tongue 
As it glides down your chest 

I want your muscles 
to stiffen
At the thought 

Of my nails 
leaving their mark 
On your back 

I want 
your heart 
As it is 

Jealous 
Unsettled 
Afraid 

Let me shelter it 
Until you change 
your mind 

Or for at least tonight 
Until the candles 
burn out 

And I can no longer 
See your blue eyes”
