I want to write about you
the way I do a spot of light
shining on like a lighthouse
on an uneventful dark night.
I want to write about your eyes,
the mystifying stars above us
that gently remind us of light
and how sometimes it is enough.
I want to write about your smile,
the one I have not set sights upon
like the concavity meant to draw life
into its presence from stars and beyond.
I want to write the way you make me feel
but to describe such a sensation is indelible
and a permanent scar that sits across my heart
I'm reminded of my faults that are plentiful.
I want to write about you
...but humans aren't meant to write about angels
while having their feet planted on the planet,
I want to write about you
the way I do the stars
because i want to gaze at you
not with my eyes but my heart.
