Cloaked in satin,
Sitting there
In your plastic chair,
But you sit in it
Like you're royalty,
You make plastic look like gold
For you shine so bright,
Right from your bones
Your joy is palpable,
You are an angel in disguise,
Who stole your halo from you,
With those years of many lies?
People try to steal what they cannot own,
And yet you call this heart a home
I must go this alone,
You asked to take my hand,
I contemplated saying no
I needed to hide my tracks in the snow

You're eager indeed,
Eager to please
I said stay here,
Sit down with your tightly wound knees
But you couldn't,
You sought to chase the breeze,
Trying to catch the ineffable
This is why your mind is a well of unease

Standing there,
What an elegant pair,
Don't despair,
What is yours will find you
Don't blind yourself with illusions,
Embrace the truth here,
Embrace the warmth of life that is Living,
You find little solace in your daydreams,
You're bewitched by all these schemes brewing in your brain,
But just for once,
Relax, today.
*Bask in this morning's glory,
Reassured in your solitude,
Make peace with all of the incomplete puzzles in your mind.

I see your smile,
Peeking from under your lowered head
Whenever my voice,
Like sweet honeysuckle glittering in sunlight,
Utters sentences like serenades,
Just for you

I notice these nuances
Little details everyone misses
My eyes are like crystals,
My mind, a sponge
Absorbing every angle of you,
All the myriad microexpressions,
Bleeding through your face,
It's a pattern I'm trying to track and decipher,
And yet,
I am no scientist,
I am merely
A woman deluded
With love.

Then there is my friend,
She is older,
Called plain by some,
But I like her
And yet
When I found out a few days ago
That she likes you,
Possibly adores you
My stomach erupted into distress
My thoughts a stewing mess
I tried to undress her every word,
Trying to figure out her motive for her loving you,
I concluded she is merely repeating a cycle that has burned her before,
Seeking comfort in various men,
They give her everything short of commitment

I saw her keep looking over at you
I sat still,
So as to not have the anger welling within me spill
She tried to hard in subtle ways,
I could read clearly,
How she was feeling
Yet whenever I spoke
A smile on your face awoke

You're just friendly,
That what she said
And all the girls like you,
Anyway
You look deeply into everyone's eyes,
Possibly because you like to glimpse beyond the disguise
You smile and laugh and are free!
And you are everything to me!
Yet, maybe you can't see,
Will she distract you,
Will she take you away from me,
Her eagerness is profuse,
Dripping through her every pore,
Yet I'll just sit back,
To observe and discern,
The outcome and intentions of your heart.

Am I your rose?
A unique love under the bell jar?

I look at you, You look at me
Your prussian blue eyes
Pierce my being

A love that is ethereal,
Divinely orchestrated
A symphony of sweet surrender
The Angels sing I love you

Come to your rose,
Tend to me
I am no common rose
I am your rose,
I am unique in all the world,
Because of the time you have wasted on me.
