Poetry is Prayer

Your beauty is a song
Sung by the wind
It is the sun
Dancing a full day across the sky

Your beauty is in the stars
They are holding hands
A bright shining light become one
In your eyes

Your beauty my love
Is so great as to become unreal
A myth
A legend

Your beauty so magnificent
It must be devious
An illusion
A trick against my mind
A joke against my soul

Your beauty is heavy
I am on my knees
I am on the ground

Thoughts of you a memory
A figment
And I am rendered speechless
Struck dumb
Immobilized

I am as if turned to stone
For what else can I do in your presence
But stare
Slack jawed and amazed
Uncomprehending
Disbelieving my own eyes
My lying senses

You cannot be real
You are my dreams
escaped the grasp of slumber
not content with night alone
My dreams have devised a plan to conquer my every moment

And you are their Trojan Horse
You are the great ruse of my dreams come to overtake me

I am invaded by your symmetry
Your prettiness
Your glorious form

You are a field of colorful poppies
I smile as I lay down forever
Coated with bliss
Drooling like a fool

Im a like a child in your vision
I need guidance
Almost pity

I am mindless
So in love
It feels like fear
Like a reckoning

Your beauty is a judgement
And I am in no way worthy

So I steal my glances
I look at you sideways
Like the sun
Lest I go blind
Or have my hair shocked white
Or even die

I cannot breath and think of you

You are a gorgeous ocean
I am submerged
And your currents and creatures so wondrous
I forget to come up for air
I am enthralled
In a rapture
I am hypnotized
Mesmerized

I am become a cloud
Like cotton
Like a pillow
Like a bed with a canopy
With pitchers of water to quench your thirst
With slices of bread to fill your belly
With apples

I am become a feast my love
For you to devour
To consume
To enjoy

I must feed you my love
I must keep you complete
Fan the fires of your joy

I must serve you in my ecstasy
In my glee
With passion

May you be warm my love
May you be free my love
May you be rested my love
May you be happy my love

May you be peaceful
May you be nourished
May you be excited
May you be rich with all you desire

May you have

all the pleasures of this world

my love

So that you may feel
close to how I feel

When I set my gaze

upon you
