new poem i wrote recently for practise

Salient and vivacious,

A girl stands at the doors of my humming heart.

As she knocks, I will sneer.

I will sweep her out of my sight as I am frightened.

Quivering and terrified.

She will come back,

Indelible as she claws at the very fabric of my mind.

I will tell myself I am being idiotic,

As if she is not the most orphic person,

 I have laced my eyes
upon.

She creeps closer to me,

And her body heat seeps into my side.

Her hair is draped over my lap,

And I bite the inside of my cheek until I taste metal.

Apparently, adoration throbs.

Now I can’t believe I told myself that I was being foolish,

How naïve and ridiculous can I be?

I was doomed right from the moment I met her.

Scoffing at myself and my ludicrously,

I tell myself I should’ve known.

And now I love her
with fervour,

With a devotion that blossomed in the silence of the night.

When she wraps her arms around me,

I beg not to cry,

I can’t bear to leave her not even with a smile on my face.

Love doesn’t wait,

I am puzzled on why I thought it would for me.

Her laughter rings out into the crisp air,

And I can’t even recall what she’s laughing at.

How can I when she’s impossibly stunning?
