The Focus of My Affection

I wrote this one on behalf of one of my close friends...the girl he was in love with was not Reem though - I just needed a name to rhyme!
***

Star light, my wishing star
So bright, yet so far.

I wish upon you at night
As soon as I glimpse your light.

All I wish is to
Possess her heart
You know I fell in love
From the very start.

I wish she'd just
murmur my name
Until she does,
My heart is aflame.

I see hope in her
chocolate brown eyes
That are as beautiful
as the night skies.

I love the way she
vanishes in my embrace.
And in my chest
buries her face.

I love her soft touch
I've never felt anything as such

She can read my mind
And say the words I never find.

They say "Things aren't always what they seem"
Thats true, with the exception of my love, Reem.
