Infatuation Poem by Loraine Lotter

Beckon me to stay tonight.
Switch off the light, flatter me with those eyes.
This is something I never thought of me,
something you never should have let me be.

Can you tell me what it is I’m feeling.
Watch the glow-in-the-dark stickers on your ceiling
as the night turns dark and the mood serene.
The most beautiful I’ve ever seen.

The sensation burns as you touch my skin.
Your eyes whispering, ‘Where have you been? ’
Falling deeper into this mad situation,
I’ve got a hunger for this infatuation.

Trace your lips along my collarbone,
knowing later I’ll say, ‘If I had only known.’
When preventing something seems impossible,
it’s sometimes best to never let it go.

So beckon me to stay tonight,
as I lay in your arms under the morning light.
This is something I never thought of me,
something I never thought that we could be.
