You captured my eye like butterflies Dancing round deer flies
Over snow?
You confuse me.
Dipping paint into brushes, your heart rushes forth And back and forth and back and forth
You’re lively
Like gasoline to the eye lively
Like falling 8 million feet from the sky lively
Like sparkling lights writing letters to lovers in the wind You’re like the wind
And try as I might I can’t hold your moonbeams in my hands Wish I could hold you in my hands
You're a problem
I stopped trying to solve
A cube with colours I've never seen
But I've seen puzzles like you before
Puzzles that knocked me out by my knees before
Puzzles that leave me wanting more
And after the last piece is placed,
I look beyond the frame because I know that there's more
But I can't see it and I can't ignore
The connection between your shapes
Just dipped in different paints
I've seen puzzles like you before
But your colours are far more vivid
I'd swear that you're different
You didn't come from any box because nothing can hold you
At least, I can't hold you
Because you’re saintly
Halo wrapped around your crown
Just king me, bring me safe into your arms
In the towers made of endless dreaming stones
Till we sink, dropping deep beneath your shores
And wander like we’ve not been here before
Till we whisper lovers’ thoughts forever more
Then you’ll leave me lying cold and on the floor
Creating walls where none could yet escape
I’m your Rapunzel and by far my great mistake
Was in cutting my hair before you could think the climb it For I feared too much of the witch
Who would push me down below the thorns to blind me Blind me from the truth that you’re deathly
Like polonium in my tea cup deathly
Like a pole through my skull deathly
And I see you wanting more and I wonder
If I’ll still be wanting more
If I love you, will it be like ones before?
Enough?
Too much?
Or just right?
Like butterflies, dancing round deer flies over snow.
