You are out there.
You intrude me with your presence.
You know that.
A sly smile, a stealing glance,
You give me all that.
And I’m left with this turmoil,
you love that.
Cause of you I split in half.
I am demise and I am alive.
I am chaos and I am calm.
I yearn to be obscure,
To blend amongst the shades of nature.
But you are allegory of my soul,
You unravel my deep hidden thoughts.
I am breathless. Yet so full of oxygen.
Like the dusk kissing the world good night,
And the dawn dipping the earth in golden wine.
I’m caught in between narrow tendrils,
One side has the summit to climb,
Whilst the other has an abyss to dive.
I fiddle between desiring you and escaping you.
Alas! I hide away these endearments,
Deep within mossy bed’s embrace.
Beneath the forgotten riverside pavilion,
A place of secret and hushed fondness.
But they creep up to the pavements,
Slowly for growing my cracks and ridges.
Engulfing me with such tenderness.
Taken aback I marvel at their audacity,
To creep into my soul with such intricacy.
Oh! this heart’s turmoil, such a bittersweet tragedy.
