Vanilla-Skinned Boy.

Young vanilla-skinned boy with the perfected smile,

a glimpse of 32 teeth that warms my heart for a while.

Young vanilla-skinned freshly of age,

aiming to explore new life as he slowly turns the page.

A teacher for pubertal kids is his ultimate goal,

to teach them numeric formulas and how our government works as a whole.

Young vanilla-skinned boy with a slight innocence in his voice

accompanied by a tiny lisp acquired most likely not by choice.

Young vanilla-skinned boy who follows the highest King,

striving to please Him and find the beauty in each person, place and thing.

Young vanilla-skinned boy who guards people's lives,

I really do wonder what all does your mind comprise.

Though it's only been just a small amount of time,

I have discovered a feeling that's beyond sublime.

How can someone whose age differs from mine by three

have both a childish spirit and spiritual maturity?

As I get to know him, he's more of an open book

yet unknowingly keeps my interest piqued to run and take one more look.

Call me a fool for blushing with such joy,

as I silently observe my blossoming attraction for the young vanilla-skinned boy.
