Unrequited (Free verse) by DevilTmptrss
You greet me with my name
like a soft caress;
two words that say to me
more than you express.
soft,
and slow,
and fragrantly
you linger on my mind
You torture me sweet
like cool showers in the spring
or flowers in the fall.
temptation,
pressure,
unknown pleasure,
an illusion so unkind
Your eyes, like
precious trinkets behind glass,
tease beyond my reach.
love,
and lust,
and longing
You are real
and what I feel
is not.
touch,
and taste,
and tantalizing tenderness
within a warm embrace
You speak to me gently
like a summer's breeze
and are oblivious to my heart
like winter is to thaw.

There are a couple "too easy" references though, which would be nice if tweeked out ("like a summers breeze", "like cool showers in the spring") - and I think "sweet" wants to be an adverb. "flowers in the Fall" is pretty good as describing a torture.
It's a good, honest expression of love - though I haven't fallen in love with it (I'm happy to have it as a good friend).
