Like A Delicious Melody... Poem by chantelle ribeiro

I sometimes catch you staring
a look of wonder on your face
as you search my eyes
watch my lips
And for that split second
I know all about the passion
I see the heat explode in your pupils
An moment of silence
the weird shyness
And then you look away
Escaping to the secret world
within the rooms of your heart
where I play a mysterious part
in your hidden fantasies
You love me
I hear it in the echos of your words
in the in between nuances of your sighs
And yet you play me
Like a delicious melody
You haunt my dreams
You crush my days
Your silences sometimes makes me hide away
My tears have soaked the earth
like the summer rain
Still here I am
Just being me
A living, breathing, feeling thing
