Visual Addiction

"Visual Addiction"
2009
 
I've tried to fight my baser thoughts
For I have urges to resist
But as I steal more than a glance at her
I wonder if she knows that I exist
And with the hand that I've been dealt
I am inclined to answer no
But as her hair falls into her face
Her expression fails to show
So I gave my head the slightest tilt
To see if a smile is what she wore
But then I was struck by a hint of guilt
As my imagination demanded more
In the form of seconds passed
As my eyes saw an image truly pure
That's become a visual addiction
For which only a fool would seek a cure
So as I relapsed time and time again
I thought it best to speak a word
But with a crowd in her vacinity
I felt that it would surely go unheard
So I hid the word beneath baited breath
And slipped inside a daydream of the sort
That featured her in a sea of sheets
As she swam to my body for support
Then she placed her head upon my chest
As my heart beat to a rhythm she could hear
But then I awoke from this fantasy
For I could smell her perfume drawing near
As she passed by the chair in which I sat
To reach an item upon a shelf
As I watched and wondered if the view
Was a gift that was given to myself
So I could come to tell those around
About the goddess in my view
Who could take a concetrated pessimist
And make him an optimist sparkling new...
