LOVE & HEARTACHE

Perfect petals
Of pleasure
Surround you
From hip to head,

A sea of poppies
As red as your delicate lips
Your smile
Teeth white as ivory keys,

Sweet succulent
The sounds and notes
That the ivory bellows,

Your hair
Lush as the vines
Within this rainforest
The scent of life,

Like the vast horizon
Endless sea of ice
Cold yet delicate to touch,

Your eyes sparkle
Like the stars at midnight
Yet dark and mysterious
Like the baroness
Walking in the night,

Your neck as the dunes
Of the white sands of this
Secluded Mexican beach,

Shoulders soft as silk
Like the plumage
Of a silent dove
In the morning,

The sweet essence
Like rose encircling you
With the rings of Saturn,

Your abdomen
Like that of a painters canvass
A little splash of brown
As freckles become this scene
As art beautiful in every way,
Hips that sensual curve
Leading the way
I am taken back
Back to your eyes, lips, soul

Your beauty surpasses
Anything, everything
All that has been
All that will ever be,

Yet somehow
These words do you no justice
When I see you
The explanation of your very all
Escapes me as if I am lost
In all that is you,

Time will pass
You will always
Remain the same
In my mind,

Yet still
We have never spoke
Only within
The Canvas of my Dreams.

When the words are inside you let them out be free, only then will you be whole.
