almond shaped eyes
the color of fertile earth
deep
deeper than marianna and her treacherous trench
i fall deeper into your magic with every glance
the mere thought of your existence sends lightning bolts through my bones
you give me butterflies the size of ostriches
and someday soon i'll take flight
astronauts and the smell of stardust
nasa
here we come
i can hear the static pulse of the universe in your laughter
you leave solar flares in your wake
you take my breath away
a presence as heavy as the vacuum of space
not burdensome
but welcomed
like an egyptian cotton blanket over bare flesh
or the pressure of the lakes surface on my naked ribcage
an embrace
with god
with darwin
with satan
and neil pert
it hurts me when you frown
deep
deep down
i drown in despair at the earliest glimpse of your discourse
but when you smile
hot ****
that smile
i shiver and shrink
like a scalp in a glacial pool
you're strong as a sequoia
proud as an ancient peak
yet for some reason
you see me
in a far more flattering light than i view myself
i wanna take you
far
far
far away
and make you stay forever mine
forever perfect in my eyes
poetic strengths
prose-like down falls
and it all reads just like Rumi
classic
timeless
true
i can't wait until the day you admit
that you can't wait
to be tangled up in me
and the sheets
and the seams of the fabric of time
