Newly Connected
all my heart can hear is your melody*
melodically hypnotically
you nearly have me betraying my vow to slow down
everything i’m feeling is spilling right out of my soul
onto this stage where i sit
wide open and exposed to you.
i’m already drowning in deliciously deep cocoa kisses
killing me with quick connection corrected
wanting to stay cool and collected but
your caresses tickle trickles of teardrops torn from turned tastes of bliss
i slip stealthily out of the state of steady
hands off the wheel
heart’s cautious ice wall melted by the logic of lyrical language
translated tunes taking me to the breaking me
and i’m
set free to experience this glee
floated from fantasized figures flashing feelings and
fear’s fatality
so i’m giving in
letting the electric attraction
cement a barrier to any lament that could be constructed
by the confusion you’ve banished.
and as i sit under the subtle shadows
cradled by candlelight
and your midnight eyes
i am born anew.
