So this is….

…..love?

I used to be hiding in my little damp cloud, waiting for you.

I was dreaming of you, walking down a kaleidoscope of color, and at the end,

We met—-and our colors matched in such a clashing, crazy way,

I felt it so warm flood my heart.

You were cut out of divine cloth,

And you were dreamt out of musical

Bliss, with your glowing eyes

And sad smile.

We were both monsters.

You were from the muddy swamp;

I was born from a black and blue lagoon.

Slimy and sweet and mossy love,

I dreamed of it all with you.

This must be

What I heard a human singing about roaming about my lagoon,

This must be

So this

Is

Love
