I watch your pupils waltz across the room
I feel the scatter of stars as your eyes catch mine
I smell your cologne as you pull me into your universe
I hear nothing but the breaths you take, that collide with my neck in embrace

I want nothing but your everything

I want you to capture my soul through my lips
I want you to feel the burn of my smile as you pull me with you
I want you to smell the musky rose I chose to wear for tonight
I want you to hear my every emotion when I say goodbye

Thank you for the dance.

As pained as we may be physically there is no greater hurt than a poet living in a poemless age

When waves of sadness washed over me
And began to pull me under
You taught me how to swim.

I drank a bottle of blissful yellow paint
Lured myself with the calmness of blue
Drowned myself into a pool of thick red blood

And I found myself, staring at your eyes
Because, love, I realized, it is where my palette lies.
