Description
Do you have any clue how
mesmerizing
you remain?

You're a cryogenic
heart
attack
{encased in flame}
and laced with memory's sweetest secret name

spoken

and winding
icily
down the same

backbone that you freeze
with a fireburn hum;

to feel you breathe
upon my xiphisternum

is like a dream from heaven above

wrapped in an

aquamarine
     pillar
       of
    flame;

"I am so in love with you"
becomes preferred refrain.

(There's something stuck in my head:
it's you and I.)

We cannot be the same,
for we have witnessed
candlelit displays
of come what may;

I will follow you
into the cold of daybreak
painted in shades of

midnight blues
and
velvet grays;

an instant in space
burns brighter than the jealous sun;
meteor showers keep us for hours
until our fears are undone.

[pardon my wandering erratic mind]
[but that moment rests upon a pedestal within the halls of time]
[and Rembrandt's strokes fail to properly describe]
[the furnace depths that rest behind your frozen lake visage]
[that I can't help but ache to kiss]

I exhale
vapors
after taking time to warm your lips

that once purred with unsure frost;
now entwined fingers
cross hearts: a promise
to be lost

wholeheartedly

in thoughts of we;

Let us paint the music;

with your permission I elect to never leave.
