Infatuation

What a beautiful state it is to be

As infatuated by someone as I am by you

The stagnance we yearn for feels fine when it arrives

But this, this is the real wonder

 

This 

This feels like the tide

The drop in Mansa’s Uncomfortable 

I forgot to run or hide 

Vulnerable, combustible 

Lost in a place I wish to stay

No light at the end of this tunnel 

But leave me here, I pray 

Leave me leaned by hafez’ soul

By his gift, kneeled, whole

Why is there war and anguish

When you my dear are alive

As intoxicated as the sufis 

Into a thousand oceans, I dive 

Rumi, cushion my fall

With words of love’s call

Keats, I shall live only in Summer days

For I wish to wake and sleep in this phase

Music enters where you stole 

Room for any others to take

Sounds encapture, I stroll 

And luxuriate amidst the lake

In the fields of my core

Let me write you a poem, four

Every sensation has more layers

More desire in my prayers 

Every image or work of art

More excuisite, while we’re apart 

 

Listening to Johnny Rain while it rains

You wander elsewhere but I remain

Entranced by thoughts of you

They tease and they please

Don’t stop, don’t you cease

Swimming in my depths 

Savasana, focus on breaths

Oakland ting, 808 and patron

Internal ring, lost the ability to run

Fine as I do not wish to run from you

You’re wonderful

But it’s true,

 

The form I have of you in my mind

Is more flawless than you could ever be in person, I’ve been kind 

You’re here, safe, preserved

However naive or undeserved
