too close

i cannot touch you
even
if
you are just
within my reach.

can you fathom
the self control
i have to muster
in your presence?

you are my muse
in 46 poems

how can i not
want you
when
you are so near

but everyone
is here
and they
might
hear

the beating of my heart.

i try to silence
it with words

drowning this want
