I lose my head whenever you’re near.
The sound as it hits concrete, rings in my ear.
You gasp and ask if I’m okay.
My tongue is knotted; no words can I say.
Your eyes of jollity spark and lift me,
and soon I’m back where I should be.
There’s a graze on my forehead and a bruise on my nose.
Yet no pain I feel, since you’re holding me close.

You mean your barbaric and brilliant brain? If I can write stories like you, sign me up for a barbaric mind, too! Hmm, maybe if I ate a certain color of an apple? 😉 🍎🍏

Wouldn’t that be cool? Can you imagine, though, people’s heads would be popping off every time someone they’ve got a crush on would walk by?! Awkward! Then we’d try and get back to our bodies and would end up on someone else’s? Haha! Maybe not so cool! 😃

I’m sure there’s a Tim Burton/John Hughes teen romantic horror comedy in there.

That must be one good-looking guy! I don’t really need women to fall at my feet. It would be nice to get a second glance sometimes, though.

I’m sure you get a second glance, but you may not see it, since it’s your bum they’re looking at 😀

Haha! Believe it or not, I have occasionally been complimented on my nice backside! Rather more often, I’ve been praised for my well-defined eyebrows. Unfortunately, my female friends go strangely quiet when it comes to all the bits in between. 🙂
