The fact is your presence is intoxicating
like smoke you enter
assaulting my body but soothing my mind
creator of soul shadows;
flavours of margarita, mohitos on the side –
all I want is you
on the side
i want you when your absence is obvious
you are my soul-searcher, my thought-finder
this mind that holds you intact caresses me
(envelopes) me (completely)
light to dark you are my solar eclipse
between what is and what should be
you are you, just the way I never expected you –
talk to me; I have ears and eyes and arms and hands for you alone
patches of paint I give to you
to mix and match
to find me;
your woman of colours.
