my new "thing"

i have lately gotten really into my poetry class in school, here is my latest work:

Tropical fantasy

The crescent moon
rests peacefully on the star freckled sky.
we are entangled in a web of
tanned limbs and colorful blankets.
my hair spread wildly across your chest
often tickles your nose
when a strand is blown
by the light ocean breeze.
Sand that is now comfortably cool
takes the shape of our frames
we have been lying
in the same spot four hours.
Half-way sleep
half-way alert
half-way caring about anything
except this exact moment in time,
which is almost perfect.

why are we here?
why have you chosen me to share
in your ecstasy, in your paradise?
am I that special-- on the inside?

I can only wish that
you are more than physically attracted
to my curves
in all the right places.
I can only hope that
you are spellbound by
the inner workings of
my mind, my heart, and my soul.
I can only pray that
I make you see the good
in everything
including yourself.
I can only desire that
you love me
for the person that I am
and that which I will become.
