Forbidden... Poem by Nestor David Armas

They say a picture

Is worth a thousand words,

I beg to differ,

Your beauty is worth more,

In your direction

My eyes wander

More often than not,

If not more frequently,

Thoughts of you possess me,

I cannot think of anything else,

I'm powerless

And it frustrates me so,

I want to savor your lips,

And feel the warmth of your body,

Who would have thought

Such feelings

Could ever be in me,

Who are you

To control me in such a way?

I crave you

To the fullest

Extent of the word,

You are a merciless angel,

Whom I cannot have...
