Secret Crush
Friend Zoned
I was once put in the friend zone,
Before the friend zone was a thing,
I was put there once and for the longest time,
I let it burn and I let it sting.
We’d been friends since we were kids,
She was that cutest girl in my class,
I was the nerdy quirky boy she’d confide in,
And that was the zone I’d never pass.
Growing up I had the biggest crush on her,
But I knew we couldn’t be more than friends,
I tried so hard not let it any of it out,
It was so difficult to just play pretend.
By high school she was very popular,
I was too but our cliques were of different kinds,
And though I had hinted at the thought of love,
She had already drawn that line.
And in growing older we also grew apart,
We didn’t have those lasting conversations anymore,
It was a sign of the time, it kind of tore at my heart,
Fate as it seemed had something else in store.
But that was ok with me, I didn’t want to ruin it,
Because she loved me “like a friend”,
Oh those words can singe, it makes anyone cringe,
Those who’ve heard those words know it’s the end.
I was put in that zone and launched into outer space,
So I kept going exploring the boundaries of the universe,
And in my journey I met someone else,
Sometimes you can’t put the ship into reverse.

It was somewhere by Rigel in the constellation of Orion,
When a message transmitted came in way too late,
She confided in a friend, she regretted her decision,
She realized her feelings and called me her soul mate.
Who’s in the friend zone now?

Dreamer
We’re not an obvious match
A whimsical thought
a covert glance
paused
long enough to soak
his profile into tepid memories
She can’t allow them to be anything but
He has an air of indifference
an agenda to match
She dare not hope
yet…
a constant thought begs
at the door of her soul
The best harmonies are never
seen as such

Addison
Thick as chocolate
Sweet as tea
Untamed creature you are to me
Unknowingly of your preference
But constantly lured in your essence
Flirt with boys
Play with men
Lingering stares refuse to be a friend
As thoughts grow wild
I’d spoil you as a child
Lick...suck...caress em lips
Ride on my face and rock em hips
Drowned by honey
Climaxes struck like thunder...
Yet I ponder
As Alice to wonder.
Sweet as tea
Untamed creature you are to me
Unknowingly of your preference
But constantly lured in your essence
Flirt with boys
Play with men
Lingering stares refuse to be a friend
As thoughts grow wild
I’d spoil you as a child
Lick...suck...caress em lips
Ride on my face and rock em hips
Drowned by honey
Climaxes struck like thunder...
Yet I ponder
As Alice to wonder.

Trinity
As your scent empower my space I anticipate your presence stomach in knots as I grasp for air.
Carefully observing every stride along with hand jesters, as you look in my direction I look the other way holding steady my composure.
As the doors close behind you the room got smaller the air filled with perfume of lusts and desires...wanting probably needing one touch to spark the plugs.
Not wanting to seem needy I distract my mind with work but I couldn't hide from the atmosphere. As my bangs brushed across my forehead I peeked to watch your every move and upon making your exit I felt a sense of lonesomeness.
Then, you surprised me you turned around smiling shyly and handed me a note
" I want you... I've always wanted you..." my stomach sank anchoring my body to the floor as I smile uncontrollably.

sweetest lips made for soft kisses
Open mouth for my pleasure
Engulf my body, with your flame
Stirring my senses, to peak
I watched you from afar
You didn't see me spy
you in your cool car
If can't have you, I think I'll die
My brothers friend, wish to be
My fine wine, to be drunk from
I drink from the chalice, in my dreams
If you only knew, what you meant to me
I sit and ponder your thoughts
I wonder do you ever think of me
I can't send you out of mind
Lust is my canvas for your love
Open mouth for my pleasure
Engulf my body, with your flame
Stirring my senses, to peak
I watched you from afar
You didn't see me spy
you in your cool car
If can't have you, I think I'll die
My brothers friend, wish to be
My fine wine, to be drunk from
I drink from the chalice, in my dreams
If you only knew, what you meant to me
I sit and ponder your thoughts
I wonder do you ever think of me
I can't send you out of mind
Lust is my canvas for your love
Pine
Capture a glimpse, as he passes by
Behind a tree I like to spy
He knows me not
For I'm too shy
Caribbean blue eyes
A smile that shines
Take me away to my happy place
Dreams of him through my mind
For you my dear, I do pine
If only I could make you mine
