She was Bad by Les II
She was the badest woman I’d ever seen
Crowned with curly brown hair
A smile like velvet
Eyes that you fall into like the deep end of a swimming pool
In the middle of August
Warm like sweat on tired bodies
Welcoming like church
Her breath revived me
Mentioning ripe black cherries
From lips softer than the goddess of love
I starved for her trust
Fell to one knee for her touch
Obsessed by the idea of her
The touch of her skin was blue satin
Soft and smooth
Warm but
Cool
It spoke to me in terms of heartache
That one girl
One girl
Could be so sweet tasty to the soul
I thank her daily
For the fantasy
Of being locked in her gaze
Struggling to breath in her soul
And breathe out mine
Tongue struck
Unable to express my longing
Consumed by her everything
I pout
Because
I’ve never ever met her
I’ve never been near enough to translate this obsessive fantasy into the thrill of reality
You see
My shyness tempers my courage
Leaving me hungry starving for the nirvana of her attention
To hold her hand
To have just a minute, 30 seconds of her grace, her smile,
A glance in my direction
That I will translate through my obsession into a new fantasy
Of having the badest woman I’ve ever seen
She prances when she walks
And that movement
That grand ba dunk a dunk
Makes me sweat
Grab a piece
Just a piece and worry it
Like a puppy with a slipper
Even though
I’ve never ever met her
