Poet, The

Picture you - dark & virile
Scathing with those eyes, 
Irises as deep as two oceans
Curls of your hair, grab-worthy 
Tall & shoulders wide 
Yet, not too wide 
You could shrink with need, if you like

Cheeks shining like honey
With a mind between those ears
Which can think endlessly, deeply 
Leaping to & from fantasy and reality 
But let's forget your mind
And focus on your chin, for tonite
Your grin, honest, your nose bulbous yet sharp

Things you wear
Your shoes - are so fun
Pretty sure, your socks are mismatched too
Your sweaters are perfection
Carrying colors in rows
So Christmasy - against a grey you
And pants, tall endless black pants 

The way you sit
Rather, perch
Distant, introverted, distinctly self-possessed
And how you stand-
Hands locked behind your back 
Leaning on various walls
Hair waving in salty sea breezes 

I will leave your lips out
Precisely since words fail me, here
Your breath, I imagine must be always moist
Warm, with the exhaust of multitude of intellectual quests in your chest 
And your chest, sometimes shirted
But mostly shirtless, with earphones plugged in
