Getting enthralled with
you beauty...
Is it even possible?
I lose my breath
and catch my heart.
When I look at you
there is something more
just beneath the surface
lives lived and lost
loves loved and passed
They would say it is your blood
showing through your cheekbones
and your indifference to me
that you have fought many battles
loved many fragments of a whole
That my powers will not work on you,
and yet I have no urge to test this statement
to prove it wrong
Because even if I could
I would not want to
For when I use that shadow
it is to get something that I want
But I do not want you
for if I did I would have you,
or rather the product of my interference
upon you
which wouldn't be you at all.
However,
I do desire you
and I plan to live up to that desire.
To come into alignment
with what I already have.
I already have you,
right next to me
Watching each other grow
exploring
learning
playing
and yes,
even loving
And yet your beauty
still throws me off balance
Like the green hills of
Ireland
fog billowing over the moss on the rocks..
I can smell the ocean breeze
and feel the mist on my cheeks
but I cannot see it yet,
it is somewhere else
collecting itself
tending to the life within.
All I see is the fog
rolling all around me
the condensation in the air
All I can feel is the
moss
beneath my bare feet,
and the kiss of the breeze upon my lips,
showing me a small fraction of what it will be like
to kiss you.
