A Shore too far-

 

You paint me a picture with your smile

Because you know the vignette satisfies me a little while

You know I’m so easily charmed beneath your guile

That my heart is chained in denial

Later I know you’ll call me before I sleep

Wondering what secrets I try to keep

But what if I told you these painful things

Would it change anything

between you and me?

 

Dreaming your whisper, I’m unprepared

To smell your jasmine perfume in the air

And the scent of your long dark hair

Blowing in on the wind from somewhere

But when I wake to the morning light

I wonder if you slept alone last night

As close to me as you know you are

I’m drowning and you’re a shore too far

  

I think some things should just be left unsaid

As  thoughts of you run through my head,

Some things can just never be

anything other than temptation and fantasy

Might have to polish this one up a bit.  Not bad though for a fifteen minute spurt of creativity eh?
