For M.L.J.

---

I worry if I may burden you with the way things change around where I walk...

...I try to not interrupt you...

...but I can finish all your sentences.

And I'd accept my sentence-

if it meant I'd be locked up with you.

Such madness has consumed my heart so its true.

I'd take any second if you only have few...

Please?

I tried to divert my path, feeling as an iceberg (in your way).

And on that wayward day;

where while on the way,

to put away whey...

...all I saw was you.

Could not help myself.

Did my best impression of how butter will melt

when in the warmth of the rays of the sun.

Truly, it felt...

...like a magnetic attraction; electrically defined!

So I took every chance to stand with you in line.

"It's peaceful, isn't it?" So agreed my mind.

In the juice isle I felt love redefined.

What emotions! Ferocious!

Both lovely and atrocious!

Genuine human neural commotions!

Yet it heals my skin like lotions

made from the waters of oceans.

I feel I look sleepy-

(even possibly creepy)

when I look at your face...

...and feel I've run a long race.

Eyes fixed on your beauty,

radiance amassed.

I've only once blinked-

and an hour has passed.

Yours truly,

Michael
