I’m Branded

She was temptation sculpted in flesh and danger wrapped in silk. Those eyes those deep, haunting brown eyes didn’t just look at you they undressed you. Peeled back your soul and made you like it. There was no safety in her gaze, only surrender

And her scent God help me it wasn’t a fragrance it was a command. Dark, warm, spiced like sin and honey . It hit you low in the gut, made your hands shake with the need to touch her, to taste her, to worship every inch. Even now, I smell it on my skin like she branded me. Maybe she did

Her body is Unholy Every curve a promise, every step a slow pull toward sweet damnation. She didn’t walk she glided, like lust incarnate, hips speaking a language my hands were born to answer. Her voice is like silk over a blade soft, sultry, and laced with something that made you want to misbehave.

She didn’t ruin me I offered myself. Again and again. And if she walked through that door right now, I’d fall to my knees, beg to drown in her all over again.

Her

She does not know what she does to the room.

How light seems to bend,
not because it must,
but because it wishes to linger a little longer where she stands.

I’ve watched the morning
borrow its colors from her eyes,
and the evening hide itself
in the softness of her hair.

People speak of beauty
as though it belongs only to faces.

They have never known
the beauty of a gentle heart.

The beauty of a laugh
that untangles the knots
a cruel day leaves behind.

The beauty of a voice
that makes the world remember
it was meant to be kind.

There are moments
when she smiles at me,
completely unaware of the storm she has awakened,and I have to look away
not because I cannot bear to see her,
but because I can.

Because somehow the simple miracle of her existing feels too enormous
for one human heart to carry

She smells like home
before a word is spoken

Like safety
Like peace
Like every place
I have ever wanted to return to

And if heaven has a language,
I imagine it sounds
a little like her laughter.

If angels have eyes,
perhaps they borrowed their warmth
from her own.

The world measures beauty
with mirrors,
with numbers,
with passing years.

I measure it
by how often she steals my breath
without ever trying.

By how she makes ordinary Tuesdays
feel worthy of remembering.

By how, after all this time,
I still catch myself staring,
wondering how someone
so breathtaking
could also be so wise,
so patient,
so endlessly loving.

There are days
when gratitude rises inside me
so suddenly,
so fiercely,
that it presses against my ribs
like tears searching for daylight.

Not because I am sad.

Because love,
when it grows large enough,
has nowhere left to go
except through the eyes.

And if I spend the rest of my life
searching for words worthy of her,

I suspect I will fail.

But perhaps
that is the truest measure
of love—

that even language
bows its head
before the woman
who taught my heart
what beauty truly is.
