26. Private Romeo (06.10.18)
You turn out the lights,
The hours tick away,
Or minutes I should say,
Precious and few,
For you,
You dancing merrily on the head of a pin,
Marveling at where you’ve been,
Life outside making itself known
In spite of how we fight against it,
And me, closing my eyes,
Pretty pictures in my head,
So much you couldn’t realize
Amid the trove of things unsaid.
What you crave is what I give you.
I await your worshipful gaze.
All my facets fade into blue
Taking with them your ardent praise,
Breathy words scattering into the night,
My spirit nearly lost from sight.
I imagine it’s heady and sublime,
Knowing I’m yours...for a time.
How did I get here?
How can it be? What is it in me
That keeps you coming back?
That keeps me?
Despite myself here I am once more
Preparing to cast my glow,
To build this wicked fire,
An object of desire,
Your own private romeo.
