she will be loved

Time stands still, thinking aestivates
Love dominates, beauty captivates
Our eyes meet, I stare
She turns away…as if I care…I care…

We coincide…never cohere…
I follow her everywhere… find her nowhere
I feel fleeced…I lie bare…
Tell her…I don’t dare…

She shines…and a million cameras follow suit
She captures every imagination…every bruit
I stand alone…transfixed in my own admiration of her
And I solemnly decide… ignorance is my only saviour

The meretricious smile…the histrionic articulation
The bust so prominent…the effected emaciation
The false adulations…the libidinous sneers
Girl you deserve better than these peers…

I got her to turn…burn
I diminished her…made her yearn
But though I did everything to hide
My eyes…my infidel eyes…they lied

The dam fractured…the water did trespass
With the cleave in the façade…she didn’t need a pass
Our eyes met again…this time not to part
“Love’s a crime and I commit it everyday…for recidivism is a rare art…”

In a burst of verve I confess in élan
The cameras go still…lights switch to neon
She takes my hand…doesn’t say a word
Nothings said…though everything’s heard

We hold hands…we gyrate …she’s delighted
I remember the nights I had waited…letters I had secretly indited
By the pane a red Rose blooms
Reminding me of my adopted nom de plumes….
