tangled up in you

she listens to bob dylan,
while in her eyes
i see a constellation.
it has a hold on me
that i am unable to escape,
the way that her loose-fitting jumper
       drapes off of her shoulder
     makes me shudder
  makes me scamper through
my mind to find
suitable words,
to describe
the way that i'm feeling.

she casts a dizzying spell on me,
emotions that's crash heavily
on my soul. i lose control.
i drown in the sound
of her heartbeat.
the melodies of
            'tangled up in blue'
   and the waves of her hair.
her eyes are an lake,
the depths unknown.

what is beneath the shades
of emerald green
is certainly a mystery,
my curiosity compels
me to dive into her.  
the deeper i swim,
the deeper
  i free fall. it's so easy,
after all.
with the unknown comes a danger,
but equally, there is a wonder.
a beauty too magical for the surface,
however,
the majesty of her soul -
is matched only,
by her face.
