I want you to have the sun
I want the overpowering waves to make your glow visible like I have seen it,
I want you to feel the glow of the mirror, the amazing cut of diamond that feels like a thousand moon-lit wonders.
No, better than the sun and moon combined
Something more ethereal than all of it strewn together
I want to show you the details of the Fibonacci code, and wrap it around your
Raven hair.
You captured my lemon pepper heart, sprinkling green majesty amongst your
Moon-Milk Eyes, saucer-wide, dripping with blood and space water and maddening frisson,
How can I be more clear,
How can I be more clear?
I’m dying inside a hot gleaming light,
I’m dying for you to have the sun.
If you did, I’d have my comfort
More than anything the universe can promise me.
