Recollections of your mahogany luster
makes the heart race as a thousand warriors
thundering forward in pursuit of their convictions
Time passes but my thirsting heart does not forget -
subconsciously searching for its ebony compliment
in a bottomless sea of neverending faces
My puzzle of dreams reflects a missing piece
causing hopeful circumstance to die a quiet death
Fibers of my divided conscience buck and rebel
against reality and what is ultimately right
Your addictive vibration
has cast a two-edged spell
that cuts both ways
One side slices the soul within,
infinitely subtracting from my being -
unraveling a mixed web of hurts without,
preventing time from mending old seeping wounds
The opposite thrives on memories
of complete submersion of my focus...
my admiration, adoration...
and the want to kiss away
the tears of a sweet prince...
