it is so surreal to watch you
uncomplicated
effortless
undemanding
in complete and utter silence

as the world is obligated to stand still
stop turning on its edge
to only take a glance at you

it is so magnetic to admire you
undeniable
inevitable
unavoidable
creating an urge to seek guidance

in such an asphyxiating way
even addictive sensation
that hunts me
and taunts me
into this breathtaking fascination

constantly trying to catch my breath
smothering and choking myself
I take a moment to wonder -

am I allowed to look at you?

admirable
surprisingly perfect
always leaving me speechless
constantly persuading me
and violently coercing me
to admire you from afar

am I allowed to touch you?

delightful
truthfully uncanny
daydreaming about
your infinite traces

do you ever think of me
as one of your favorite places?
because I tend to look
for you in empty spaces

will I ever be allowed to be with you?

illustrious
faithfully unique
your body is a masterpiece
one I would never leave

nothing compares to your
astounding performance
greater than the greatest
masterpiece ever called
the already named
and the ones to come
