Boy

I saw a boy
A beautiful boy
A shining, pristine, chewable boy
A boy who
made me want to lick my lips
in pure delight
A smooth brown boy
with clear brown eyes
with eyes no mischief could disguise
A soft brown boy
with a purring mouth
delicious to the sight

I saw a boy
an innocent boy
a pure, upright, intelligent boy
caught deep in a thought
which slowly made its way across
his mind
he looked at me
but didn't see
for tangled in a thought
was he
and in this boy
the day could play
to pass the time away

I saw a boy
a wonderful boy
a carefree, righteous, lovable boy
a boy built only of the stuff
that I alone can see
I saw him look up towards the sky
and shadows were forecasting rain
I know I'll never see this boy again
I saw a boy
I saw him walk away
