inebriation

hazel eyes sparked a wildfire surprise deep within my soul.

i longed for you, i long for you;

nothing in this world compares to moments spent together.

shorter now, though still ever-present,

the fire burns on;

i burn from the inside out when you smile,

your braces-fixed teeth shine pleasantly like the sun through cream curtains.

your voice like honey in the bitterest of tea,

your hands on my skin burns like a good cup of coffee and leaves the same residue;

when your skin brushes mine, it warms and lingers all day.

your words are like coming home after a long day,

settling in with a glass of red and a book;

inebriating in the warmest way, most comforting way.

when i am with you, the fastest moments linger.

when i am with you, the world begins to turn again,

the sun begins to shine,

nothing seems impossible.

you take the worst of me and make it better,

the best of me and make it perfect,

your heart beats goodness into your veins

for distribution on the world;

all you touch begins its life anew,

like daffodils in the springtime after a cold and dreary winter.

love does not begin to say the things i feel for you,

but she can try, and i can try, to give my soul to you.
