i am simple; a summer rain
cooling the warm pavement
a soft thunderclap of untapped strength
you are complex; a spring hurricane
littering the streets with passionate carnage
lifting emotions and swirling brilliance
everything about you
opposes my very being
my cool umber eyes
combust under your blazing indigo stare
my pale, ghostly skin
flushes with life with each striking, glowing smile
my ever-present faint utterances
hush as your rich sonorous voice caresses my ear
a whirlwind of contradiction
surrounds this
this crazy
perfectly imperfect
soul-entangling
mind-unraveling
tranquil chaos
we call
us
because
what is a raging storm
without a little drizzle?
