Noah at Play
by Genevieve Sturrocki lose hours
in the curves
of your face
rounded cheeks
soft pillows
so sweet and
kissable
offset
a laughing
mouth
dotted with
dimples
winking
blinking
nodding
as you
smile
talk
think
and those
wide, blue eyes
oval almonds
full of
mischievous
mirth and
intelligence
which sit
astride
your nose
long and
straight
with three
little hills
on the end
curve upon
curve upon
curve
a rolling
landscape
where i
wander for hours
admiring
the scenery 04/29/2009
Author's Note: he doesn't know it, but i watch him as he plays...sitting above and a little behind, the curve of his cheek revealing just the tip of his nose, and the indentation of his mouth, pulled back in a thoughtful smile as he builds an empire of pirates and Darth Vadar and knights.
