They ask me what I see in thee; I say <br /> <br />An endless sky and ocean mist <br /> <br />The reluctant time that causes delay <br /> <br />I clench thee with my heart and fist <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The sweet nothings you whisper in my ear <br /> <br />Reminds me of women you once framed <br /> <br />In front of your naked worship for them, <br /> <br />My love for you lies scared and shamed <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Each time thy eyes catch mine <br /> <br />I see in it what you felt for them <br /> <br />Innocent lust and violent craze <br /> <br />Obscene love and a starry gaze <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Each time I see a sad flicker <br /> <br />I wonder how you smiled at your first <br /> <br />Those dancing flames made you burn <br /> <br />I am water; I quench your thirst <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I claw at my skin to resist loving you <br /> <br />Lest your love blossoms and I remain a stem <br /> <br />I cower to send you great love poems <br /> <br />Lest you read my heart and think of them<br /><br />Ipshita Chakraborty<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-time-insecurity/
