i love you with
all of my darkness
and all of my light
like a midnight flower
blossoming,
hinged like a door
i battle to reach you
i know only of our love,
i'm a blue mood and
a strange sea, weeping
in winter's silver frost,
your fiery legs
leave me longing
like a jealous cloud
longs to dream of
the night and hold
it as its own,
i'm crazy about your
legs, crazy, crazy,
crazy about your love,
and i melt as you kiss me
crazy jealous of your love.
