Sweet Selma

I once knew this girl named Selma
Her hair was as black as the night
Sweet smelling like a meadow of spring flowers
Flowing over mocha colored skin
Skin that was softer than the clouds that lace the sky
And hotter than the fire that fueled her soul
Her eyes
Yes! Those eyes
I can never forget them
Shaped liked diamonds
They glittered from all facets
With a stare as cool as a winter breeze
A mesmerizing glare that freezes the heart
Damn, she was sexy! And she knew it
She has caused many a man to weep
Without saying a word
And made the others question their love for another
Her smile has started wars among men
And brought envy and jealousy upon women
Teeth carved from white pearls
Lips inviting and colorful
As if formed by rose petals
Have I mentioned that walk?
Smooth and sweet, like warm caramel
Graceful as a dancer
Confident and strong like a lioness on the prowl
Man, oh man!
I love this girl
She holds my fate in her hands
And my heart at her mercy
My body shivers when she speaks
Hypnotic in the most sensual way
A spell if you may
Of the strongest incantation
Only broken by the reality of my tears
Because her heart belongs to another
But patience is my virtue and time is my comforter
So I will continue to admire her from afar
Have I told you about this girl named Selma?

Marcel
