Don't look at me like that,
I'm far too hungry.
For affection, attention,
An injection,
Of something brand new.
Walk away now,
Before this turns to
Lust strung tension,
Our lips are too close
To the kiss
That could break
Me in two.
Today I am charged,
With electric
That makes me a liar,
The sway of my hips
Is a promise that
I can't fulfil.
Look but don't touch
Let me revel,
In my shining moment,
As I drink in the
Power you give,
That love can not kill.
Rare are the days
When I feel
That I am all glory,
A walking, talking
Living, breathing
Star.
Please let me
Feel like gold
Just a little while longer,
Before life tarnishes me
With all
That we are.
Allow me to refill
My tank
For its running on empty,
Love is a one way street
It seems
For me.
Just give me your smile
And your secrets,
Let me bathe in your interest,
Before I return to my love
Who can no longer see.
Don't ruin the
Moment with words,
I'm no more
A believer
In the promises
You need not make
But do.
I'm pulsing today,
All afire
With life and
Sweet music,
I thought love would preserve
What I am
But that wasn't true.
So I take what I can
When I'm able
Which isn't that often,
I hide from the world
Usually,
But damn not today.
So look but don't touch,
Keep your distance,
And don't break the silence,
I'm not ready to hear
Any words
You feel inclined to say.

That was way tight ... I loved the form and rhyme of each stanza ... The most impressive part ... was the way you brought emotion into words and made it so full of imagery and so so powerful ... thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest ...

"I thought love would preserve
What I am
But that wasn't true."
i like this a lot. my friend told me you need to love yourself and that was all that mattered. your poem reminds me of that. -
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...(sorry, didn't mean to curse, but..wow)..
Another lovely, charming, ironic, revealing look at My Daisygirl...You are just breathtakingly gorgeous and honest. I love this side of you.
What a lucky guy he is to have our Daisy..he'd better do right by you..

You are a shiny diamond, enwreathed in lovely gold, sweetheart. Don't sell yourself short.
A beautiful, revealing write.
I just love the way you put things sometimes...
and, of course,
I just love you,
just the way you are..
(O.k...I'll go, before I start hearing Don't Go Changin..lol)
