.......


Telephone against your skin
How I wish I was him.

Glasses perched against your eyes
To be that close and still survive.

The coffee cup against your lips
That I could stay within each sip.

Computer screen facing your breast
You ask a question , it's always yes.

Keyboard bouncing with each fingerprint
To lay beneath your hands again.

Purchase ledger on your knee
You scatter pages , you scattered me.

I wish I worked in administration,
and
I could be
your
digital

work-station.

..........

◄ You take the sunshine ....

I never would've imagined an office setting could be this sexy! Nicely done. You slayed me with "You scatter pages, you scattered me."
