You play a better game than me
It's fair to say, it's plain to see
In terms of distraction
You're better at pretending
That I'm not always there
A silent flare

Radio silence
We don't acknowledge
But I don't need you to
I know I'm a patient pin
Sitting just under your skin

I'm waiting for you to break
To bend, to blow
The process is slow
But the finale will be
The greatest show

How long will you last?
How long before you cave?
Resistance is futile
Give me your attention
It's all that I crave.
I am caught, in your eye,
and I drown, in your tectonic wave.
You rattle, intimately,
for me, and shake...

You shift,
minutely,
soundlessly,

collapsing, into sprawling patterns,
into formulaic strains, of madness.
Then you madden, me, as you cascade,
into beautiful, and brilliant shades:

Your Rorschach mosaics,
in prismatic hues.
Each gemlike, facet, of YOU, that is you...

Burning out my gaze,
with your radiance,
as you irradiate...

I'd give anything...to label each color,
that infuses, your face...

Scattering trickles of light,
and roseate shapes...

as if your soul,
were a treasure trove,
of the most precious jewels.

Your vibrant emeralds...
your smoky citrines...
your sapphire blues...
your ruby reds,
and your royal amethysts, too

You twist, in my hands...
and, under the light,
I turn, and return, too,
if only to seek,
a fleeting glimpse...of you.
Back and forth
My mind and heart twist and contort
I wish I fought
Harder for what it is that I desire
Having you in my life, set my soul on fire
Loving you is like being an addict
My heart and mind I cannot predict
Back and forth
Addicted
Relapsing
Recovered
And repeat
My heart and mind simultaneously meet the ultimate defeat
A fleeting moment,
When time reflects on clear surfaces,
I witness the prism of colors dance across your eyes,
And I wonder if you’d allow me to chase the end of the rainbow,
To find that golden hour crash upon you,
Shine so brightly, my angelic lover,
Come back to bed—
So we can indulge in our sinful desires once more.
Love can be supernatural
