INNOCENCE IN HER

Innocence in her scares me
she is unknown
the emotion angers me.

Neither outrageously beautiful
nor awfully cool
yet for every look at her
I have some words to murmur.

Quiet to the extent of sepulchral.
an aura of being supernatural.
she lives in this ruthless city.
coping with life's each and every duty.

"Touch me not" - I might smudge.
it would be something extraordinary
to get her feelings to budge.

Everything about her exudes poetry.
so, its not my fault.
I would to gift her and eerie.
but,
time to marvel is so short.

Appreciation irks but never hurts.
with my heart
serenity in her often flirts.
"what might happen next"
the thought is never cared.
whatever her reaction
I am not at all scared.
