make faces at me
make your face at me
make that grin
perfect round grin
with your brown eyes ablaze
and cheeks inviting
stick out your tongue
purse your lips
pout like you've never pouted before
fidget nervously
flare those button-nosed nostrils
look away
look pensive
look here
look here and i will capture you.
my tireless eye,
fixated on your limitless umber curls
and cherubic features,
longs to study your symmetry.
when you fill the wide-angle frame,
i can almost touch you.
not close enough
to feel the sine-wave of your life.
not yet, anyway.
