Things that matter to me
Change as I get older
Things that make a difference
Are always on the turn
And I find myself enthralled
With this season's changing matters
As I look at the list of what's keeping
My attention these days
Things like how your skin looks
In the sun light
And how your skin glows
With the orange of city nights
Things like how your eyes tear up
But never turn red
When you cry
Like you aren't irritated
By emotions that weigh a lot
Things like how your skin reacts in an instant
To the back and forth pattern of the
Rotating fan in the room
And goosebumps appear on your shoulders
Left to right
Like the words on a page
Things like the brown in your eyes
Being dark enough to match the darkness in the middle
Things like that
Things like the sound of your laugh when
I am the one responsible
For its source
And how honored I feel
And things like the shape of your fingers
And how even the hair on your legs
Makes me hungry for you
Somehow
These new things
They matter to me
And I sit
Rolling with the motions
Running my hands across you
And my eyes up and down
Fascinated by how
Fascinated
I am
By you
These days
