Eyes of icy blue
settle on me
I feel that electric stare
the heat encompassed
in your gaze
as I turn and see you
standing across the room
watching
You've spoken to me before
of fantasies
of late-night dreams
of hours passed remembering
the shape of my lips
the slant of my eyes
the curls that sway to my waist
I want your touch
to play out your fantasies
to re-live your dreams
to feel your lips claiming mine
to feel your weight 
pressing me into the mattress
But it can never be
you are bound to a life
you vowed to cherish
and I will not be
the blade that severs those ties
This attraction will forever be
what it has always been
Forbidden desires only
remembered in the quiet
of the nights we both
spend alone
