Kaleidoscope

by disastrophe

I am caught, in your eye, and I drown, in your tectonic wave. You rattle, intimately, for me, and shake... You shift, minutely, soundlessly, collapsing, into sprawling patterns, into formulaic strains, of madness. Then you madden, me, as you cascade, into beautiful, and brilliant shades: Your Rorschach mosaics, in prismatic hues. Each gemlike, facet, of YOU, that is you... Burning out my gaze, with your radiance, as you irradiate... I'd give anything...to label each color, that infuses, your face... Scattering trickles of light, and roseate shapes... as if your soul, were a treasure trove, of the most precious jewels. Your vibrant emeralds... your smoky citrines... your sapphire blues... your ruby reds, and your royal amethysts, too You twist, in my hands... and, under the light, I turn, and return, too, if only to seek, a fleeting glimpse...of you.
