I'm blown away by your essence
But I can't get enough of your presence
I'm drawn to you like moth to a flame
And the more you let me in, I know you feel the same
I love hearing the way I make you feel
Almost like a fairy tail, it feels surreal
Like I'm in a dream
And yet it seems
Like time stands still, like a bottomless cup I cannot fill
I want you to engulf me, like surrounding air
I want to feel you like fingers thru my hair
I want to enjoy you from head to toe
I want to feel you inside and out like you don't even know

As I arrive to the door, my heart flutters
Speaking to me with anxious mutters
And just then I hear the click of the door unlock
I see your face, your smile, and I was perfectly shocked

As you pulled me in, and our lips met
Emotions flooding, leaving me soaking wet
Never felt this before, but this ignorance is bliss
This moment was flawless, the perfect kiss 

We spend the day with literature and laughter
A mental film of memories that I have captured
Back to where the day began, but anticipating goodbyes 
You wanted me to kiss you, I could see it in your eyes

I kissed you on the couch, which was just the beginning
The moment following, simply astonishing
You are the most amazing thing I've ever felt
My body, ready to explode, & then I melt
I'm comfortable with you like never before
Something I want not to change, but to explore

I am a man obsessed with perfection
No amount of smoke and mirrors will lead me to misdirection
Like an arrow I fly straight into my target, my goal
Falling short is not an option; I must accomplish my journey and feel whole
 
Although I feel as though I’ve been placed into the pit of Sparta
Punished for my greediness, looking up at the light of accomplishment, wondering how it’d feel on my skin
But that is only where I begin
Fore I shall climb from the darkness of the pit and become a martyr 

And I’ll do it with ease, if that’s what it takes
Give it everything I’ve got, know the stakes
I know this will one day consume me, ruin me, destroy me
But until then, I take who I am and display for everyone to see
 
I’ve struggled all my life and now I’m going to make it
This isn’t no ******, there’s no reason to fake it
Open up to show my true colours, for better or worse, rhythm or rhyme
Let the earth spin into darkness, I’ve got nothing but time
 
Knock me down, I’ll be returning like a mummy, bringing plaques and placing a curse
I’m only getting better, for my competition it’s bound to get worse
Nothing can keep me, down not even the weather
Like Icarus I’ll gather my feathers
 
Spread my wings wide and fly
Leave the sky
Go passed the moon and to the sun
Make it melt, bask in revenge and call it done
 
Fore I am a man obsessed with perfection
I am the juggernaut of progression
Although only I see myself continuing this momentum
Irrelevant, I will seek my destination running through shadows like a phantom

I constantly find myself lost in thought
Searching through mental maps of you
Recalling trails and pathways 
Wondering how we got here
Then I stop trying to see the trees from the forest
Sit back and enjoy the view
Of you
Lay back and see your figure in the clouds 
The clouds that I float on
Traveling to places I had not thought of traveling
Reaching heights I had not dared to climb
Taking me to phanstamagoric levels of ecstasy
Beautiful landscape I stare at
Beautiful mindscape I wish to explore
Continue the mental maps
Words cannot wrap what I feel for you
It's so new
Every experience better than the last
Accept the past
But adjust the scope, I'm focusing on the now
Where I want to be
For there is no other place to be
Except to be here now

— The End —
