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. *Quoted verse in italics is from Stevie Wonder’s Another Star
