Feet planted on the ground
yet a sky full of desire
Countless lightning streams
link the realms as golden wires
One large gasp as I inhale
all the energy of poetic past
I’m earnestly hemming my way
to live this moment at last
Stanzas written with my eyes
prepare my muse to accept me in
Every word intensely motivated
as your hands direct my pen
I am quivering in your breeze
as I’m smelling your sweet breath
I am willingly detained
as dark locks graze my chest
Lyrics are softly unspoken
by adjacent tongues and hips
Spreading ink on the paper
as we connect our lips
Inducement from our dance
causes patience to wear thin
Pen released from our control
Now we’re all the way in
We understand each other
My point is in you and it’s clear
Sir William shook the world
but we can shake this sphere
Now, I’ll need you forever
I’m addicted to this realm with you
I’ll always be back for more
of our continuous deja vu
~
