Gasping inward, I awaken
To overwhelming thoughts of you.
Within my dreams, had I mistaken
This ethereal kiss for true?

"It simply cannot be!" I exclaim,
Upon this revelation.
For I find my racing heart aflame,
By in-the-flesh creation.

But were it fire that tugged my mind,
or something more concrete?
Indeed, your eyes the gods designed,
To make a loveless man's heart beat.

And though, from the sight of your gaze, a man may walk away,
From the thought of those green-brown eyes, they may never stray.
