SWITCH- WRITTEN BY JROB THE WISE SON

Updated: Jul 16, 2021


SWITCH

Let's trade places

with each other and

Stare at one another

From opposite

sides of the room


I want you to see

what I'm looking at

as I draw images of

you with my eyes


Let's trade kisses

So that you can

feel what it's like

To get goose bumps

on your skin before

our lips meet and

our tongues dance softly

like non poisonous

snakes making

procreated love

I want you to feel

How fast my heart beats

After I've dialed your number or knocked on your door or

waited for you before our next date


I need your pulse to quicken

and blood pressure

to rise when

we talk about us

the way it does

whenever I hear

your voice and you say

"hey babe"


I want you to get that look


The one that says

"oh shit!"

When we trade places

When you get to see

What I'm always lookin at

When you sashay in the room


I want you to see

why I always

wear sunglasses

whenever I'm about

to see you


So that you can feel

how my eyes swell up

as if I'm allergic to something


or


How many times

I tell you that love is blind

so I close my eyes tighter

in order that the image of you

never slips from my sight


Did you know,


that if you took the 1st line

from every poem

I've ever written

over the last 40 years,

you would be able to put together The greatest non published

love story to have ever been written

about you?


If so,

You would hear softly strummed violins every time your hair blows in the wind


You would hear drops of water everytime it drips into a filled cup when ever you part your lips to speak


You would swear the temperature in the room shifted because of your presence or the way your

legs say "look at me"

whenever you are in heels

when you walk by


But the thing is...


You would be experiencing

all of these feeling

inside my body,while

looking at you

with my eyes


So yes...


For one moment in time

Let's trade places

With each other

Just so that you could see

taste and feel everything

that I go through


Whenever I see ,kiss,

look, and wait to

see you all over again


Just like the first time

I met you, and everytime

ever since

whenever I see you.


Then switch back

and tell me how it felt

To be me.
