(#TheFlirtSeries)
Christy,
your beauty is
unmatched, unhelped,
beyond
the master
craft of nature.
Your voice!
Oh! Your voice
are boxed in sweet pitches,
difficult
to unhear even
with a memory wash.
Imagine
the envious smiles
of the sun
when
your voice hits me at the
open market on a name day.
Imagine
the glowing blushes
of the moon
when
a thespian sings knowing words,
to a wordsmith on a name day.
Oh, Christy,
if age is indeed
just a number,
would
you trade me for
a little more than infatuation?
Christy,
I am the sun,
I am the moon,
I am the rain,
whatever you call.
