Star Love
by Chris Sorrenti
for Barb R
Like an Earthbound sun
amid a galaxy of light bulbs
femininity radiates from you
as no other
A close encounter
conversation dared
sustains me for days
leaving only wonder
If I put my arms around you
pressed my lips to yours
would I burn to a cinder
or be Superman transformed?

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/30/09 at 06:36 PM The bounty of risk slides off of your poem into the heart. I gather from your text / a moment's delight with the opposite sex. Rock on, Chrisman. |
