Ablaze for Days

I love the light inside your eyes

The one that winks once in a while

Just out of sight behind your guise

It slips through sometimes when you smile

x

You seem to be right there with me

In those moments I feel timeless

I try to see through your debris

And often find myself rhymeless

x

For when I try to capture you

I write a lie for you defy

Every attempt to yet accrue

The shades with which you paint your sky

x

You dance inside my cage of words

Until the tide it turns on me

And carried by the songs of birds

The story goes that you broke free

x

And in these throes, these highs and lows

This matter seems to matter most

God only knows just where this goes

And yet daydreams keep me engrossed

x

And in your gaze I’m in a daze

Your nose, your hair, your cheeky stare

A playful blaze that burns for days

For one so fair, who wouldn’t flare
