If I were to compare you to food
you would be ice cream
I can't eat ice cream
wild orange ice cream
or passion fruit and mango
exotic and forbidden
If I were to compare you to music
it would be violin Brahms
you look like Joshua Bell, you know
The sweetest music I've heard,
though you certainly don't calm me
If I were to compare you to flora,
You would be orange and purple roses
excitement and enchantment
love at first sight
If I were to compare my affections to reality
they would only inhabit a book
an uninspired novel
which I should put down right away

A draft from months ago I forgot to post
