I look at you and wonder,
How soft those tendrils feel,
Always pulling me asunder,
Pulling my mind to heel.
The looks you gave,
The depth of your eyes
Made my heart cave
As I reached new highs.
As if like pools of wisdom,
I'd willingly drown in them,
Feel my desires through a prism,
And allow fate to condemn
My hidden desires.
As they come and go
I seek not to douse the fires,
I'll leave the embers to glow.
Watch them light the night sky,
With a childish curiosity.
Against the damp ground, I lie
Carried by my precocity.
To share this
Would be wonderous,
This unadulterated bliss.
I'm left feeling ponderous.
Until such time,
I will lie here
Listening to the wind chime
As the embers disappear.

Falling in love is a beautiful process in the right circumstances. It seems like in society now, that the goal is that you 'must' have someone beside you to share in these experiences. Until such time I find someone like that, I'll be loving myself.
