I am troubled by my feelings br that defy all common sense br that breathes in your warming beauty br and fulfills each labored breath. br My emotions deep, dismaying br madness stokes a hidden flame br burning blood red silent anguish br merely mentioning your name. br br I am plundered without reason br not a shilling of respect br recounting dreams of moistened lips br mapping contours of your neck. br Candid youthful turbid movements br arms be-speckled in the haze br I am lost within your charming br garden hedge rows in a maze. br br Mesmerize me with your shadow, br drape my heart with languid song, br dance with me sweet lonely shadow br trailing light shade growing long. br Mystify me with your essence, br confound me with your ways br from the insight of your spirit br predetermining my days. br br Incantations, tonal whispers br hold me spellbound with your tongue br chaliced love that pours and fills me br exhalations from your lungs. br Ride with me on wings of songbirds; br rise with me on hymns of praise, br fly with me on gentle currents, br fly with me, lets fly away. br br I'm enslaved by girlish laughter br turbulence that breaks apart br ransacked then pieced together br ensnares, denudes my heart. br I am saying that I love you, br though our circumstance insane. br I am saying that I love br the mere mention of your name.
