You are My heart’s invader An enabler Of its desire to open up to you Drawn to you magnetically A living soul Filled with passion and love Animated A spirit that is elevated. This iron heart rusts A corroded tool Left in disuse, its owner played like a fool Yet, somehow The world isn’t such a terrible place When I hold you in my arms And gently caress your face.
I don’t know Whether this insatiable need for your touch Is sustainable Whether or not It’s a future that’s attainable; I don’t know Whether we will always be good for each other All I do know Is that I never want To let you go.
This feeling was once foreign A concept whose origin Was swallowed by the sands of time; An Alexandrian library’s worth of loss An ancient civilisation’s ransacked ruins Covered in moss. Yet, somehow To destiny I must bow As I attempt to comprehend This newfound emotion Of wishing the hours would never end When you are here. I am now handing you The keys to my heart’s kingdom; This “falling” in love This attachment This instinctive need To drink from your fountain To greedily gorge myself in those moments To relish your soul flowing through mine - A chill goes through my spine As I consider this… The night Doesn’t feel the same When I don’t see you.
I don’t know what else to say - I have been afraid of this day For I don’t know how you feel This is surreal I find myself in a daze Trying to fathom How you get through the walls of ice How you have me coming back like a vice It hasn’t even been that long Yet after being with you, my heart breaks out into song. I am fearful of this day Yet I will never regret Being real with you This is who I am This is how I feel about us It is undeniable The chemistry is indescribable A surge of current Polarises my insides Every time These two wayward souls meet So, no more shuffling of feet I am playing all my cards Summoning the power of the ancient bards To bring you this poem’s clime, With one, last, hopeful rhyme And the following words: *“I love you.”
