Poison and Kerosene

A glimpse of everything beautiful
You are the strangeness of calm at sea
Yet why do I feel this blazing agony
When I see and feel you look at me?

When everything is the way it is
You overwhelm me in an unexplainable way
A strange phenomenon of now and yesterday
My music alone are the words you say

A silent gaze, a spoken touch
The brush of you against my skin
You unleash this fury and longing within
My soul aches hard for you to let me in

If you would stop this haunting tread
Your easy hold on my conscious mind
You still appear; would it matter if I’m blind?
As long as you’re there, uncalled sleep would I find?

I love you, there will never be a denying that
Would evasion make me a liar?
For deep in the scorching flames of my desire
You are the fuel to my heart’s raging fire
