study him

he
amazes me
in the way that
i could study him
like a novel with
a thousand characters
developed deeply
and with plots that weave
around symbols and themes
that circle around and
bring me right to

his eyes that
fall on me gently
with such innocence
that i dare not corrupt

so i
just smile
drawing imaginary lines around
his wavy hair
and his divine profile
and think:
i must not be the seductive creature i wish to be.
i must leave him virtuous and pure.
