I heard a song
and it made me want to fall in love
to jump into
the unknown
where my lover and I
are poisoned
with chemicals
that dilate our pupils
increase our heart rate
paint the world a better hue
reach ultimate euphoria
and ****** to a mental state
out of this world

It could be for a minute, a day, a year
maybe forever
It could be a passing thing,
a misunderstood stare,
a "I wanted to tell you but I never did" moment
It could be now, him, her? You?
It could be in 20 years, or - 10 years?
It could be waiting for you, just when you leave work today?
across the street, waiting for the elevator, tomorrow morning,
It could be in a different country?
It could be...
but a heart misses a feeling
just like the body misses a touch
and the mind a soulmate

I set down my script
and took a seat
today,
I'll be an attendee
I grew tired
of
being

Sometimes the memory of you
bleeds through
the ink
of
m
y
poetry

The ethics of falling in love with a muse
defy the laws of Earthly logic
a curse blinding potential lovers
and gating your heart
