Stirrings
The glint of blue in your half-closed eye
Teasing with possibility
The hint of you indulging my sigh
Stirs the poet in me
The persona you share from nine to five
Is sharpened for others to see
I prefer the free and easy side
To stir the poet in me
I prefer you in the shadow of dusk
As daylight falls into the sea
And the night air is heavy with mystery and musk
To stir the poet in me
The public receives your wit and your charm
You move me unwittingly
By the light in eye and the warmth of your arm
Stirring the poet in me
Save your strength for requirements
I love your vulnerability
And all your unformed sentiments
Stirring the poet in me
