Wishful Thinking Poem by Kevin Eaglesfield

Wishful Thinking

Rating: 5.0


I blush and stutter when I see you,
Feel my grown-upness melt from my brain down
And my big-boy's confidence
Disown me in disgust.
The puppy-like desparation for another minute,
Sentence or God-forbid an arm touch-
Well, a seven year old would do it better.
I think you think I'm sweet, old-fashioned, simple,
But I can't help undressing you with my eyes,
Especially when you walk away
So I think I can't be caught,
When my thoughts are confident big-boy's thoughts,
But they are simple.

Our 'grown-upness' is at best only a facade Kev. and you have every right to feed from the stuttering simplicity of a teenage collapse of the tongue - - we all do at times - - honest! But this is an honest piece of delight. thank you - - you Peter Pan you! from Ageless Fay.....

this is so endearingly honest that I had to smile...who doesn't feel like a child again when the blood rushes in the face of desire...great work.
