YOU!

Just me in the corner... using cinnamon to cover my sin
burned from the within
fear and lust are crawling
underneath my skin
Sparkling tear
sprung from my indefatigable eye
though persistent and tough
covered up by the pouring rain,
in perfect silence I cry
The reflection of your soul
dormant in your restless eyes
warms my heart and lights my mind
but I'm compelled to close my eyes
before the true beauty of your conscience,
the blossoming virility of your being,
the illuminating light that shines from within,
before they blind me with your magnificence...
I find myself floating over the trees
in transcendent harmony
united with heaven
and unfallen angels
But then lightning strikes
and I crash down bleeding,
fallen again
thunder in my head
you say goodbye and walk out of sight
you leave me lost in a strange place
alone for a few days
but I don't feel the pain
because your smile anaesthetised me
So I fly home again
longing for the next smile from your sweet lips,
the next touch of your satin hands,
the next opportunity to look at you
stare into your eyes
forget about the world
and only see the stars
admire your perfect skin, your perfect body
dream life away
for the rest of the day
And you don't suspect
that I'm watching you closely
memorizing your every move
You don't suspect
that I think about you constantly
that I lie awake at night
missing you
You don't suspect
how much I have always loved you
and I just can't begin to tell you
how much I love you today
how much I'll love you tomorrow
or forever, until the end of time
But every raindrop in the river,
every teardrop by the lake,
every fallen leaf,
every song of the nightingale
and every petal of the rose,
every flame of every candle
it has all been for you
And the warmth of the bonfire
cannot even measure
the warmth you bring to my heart
and all the stars in outer space
can't live up to the light you bring to my life
When you say nothing at all
you make me happier than I've ever been
just by living
just by being all that you are...
You are there
and that's enough
to lift me up
and ease the pain of being
just a fallen angel...
