Adonis


When I look at you
I am stifled by your
Radiant manliness
I must turn away or
Like a moth to a flame
Be drawn to you
Only to be burned
By your rejection
For next to your
Muscular brawn
I am merely a mass
Of wiggly jello
You stand before me
Like a statue
Of a mighty God
Firm and powerful
Perfectly hardened
Yet hardly perfect
For you could
Never admire me
As I do you
With my soft and
Tender features
I am only a big
Squishy pillow
Lonely and longing
To feel your embrace
Like the wind
I know you can have
All the force of
A raging hurricane
And the gentle caress of
A warm summer breeze
I long to feel them both
But I also know that
My feelings for you
Are based on a
Physical attraction
I should expect that
We have little in common
Therefore, I’m afraid
To get to know you
So, I’ll just be
Viewing you from afar
Like a work of art
In a museum
Sighing and hoping
For someone more
My type to find me
