The Awwww
What is it
in our
nature
that makes
cuteness
something
we need
to touch
to truly enjoy
when really
all she wants
is your
admiring
gaze
Gideon’s Challenge – The Awwww
Gideon’s Challenge
Gideon’s Challenge – Uncertain
Uncertain
If I were to
show you
my
smallest self
would you
smile
and greet
me warmly
or turn away
in disgust
at something
you don’t
understand
or maybe
I should just
smile
instead

Gideon’s Challenge – Clingy
Clingy
I want
to cling tight
while you
help me to
sparkle
in the light
of your
love
so kiss me
softly
and help me
to shine

Gideon’s Challenge – Fascination
Fascination
A miracle
of modern
engineering
and physics
stands
before me
and as
my gaze
runs over
its lines
my breath
is stolen
with each
and every
move
it makes

Gideon’s Challenge – The Welcome
The Welcome
the forest
welcomes me
home
with green leaves
and earthy scents
of soil
and raindrops
bark
and mushrooms
and the kind
of decay
that hides
in dark places
and promises
moments
of solace

Gideon’s Challenge – Perfection
Perfection
Shiny bits
of glass
and a sexy
little curve
strong angles
cut a path
as they tell
a story
of love
dedication
and detailed
perfection
that borders
on obsession
