You come to me in shades
Of sapphire and mauve fire weaving
Through our electric embrace
I'm weeping through
The maple leaf walks
Shivering without the glowing
Hearth of your grace
Inconsolable with galaxies of tears
Each of them a love letter
Never to reach your heart
How I yearn to gift
Every last word to you
Instead I'm crying out
For your hand through the dark
At dusk, I rush to the heart
Of your rose garden and surrender
To your regal helium plumes
From my freefall, you catch me
In your dahlia hands
Let my body be your trellis
For their blooms
Soft laurel in your cedar hair
And warm sighs that crystallise me
In the cradle of your arms
The shimmering threads
Of your stars wrap themselves up
Like ribbons around
My driftwood heart
Ascending in pearl clouds
As our wavelengths align
Your incense shrines whisper
Burning sentiments of bliss
My fingers feel your necklace chain
The silver heat of your neck
And Merlot lips that I crave to kiss
Saffron butterflies escape
From your heart and fill up
The windows of your cinnamon eyes
Your loving gaze fuels
This velvet ache
That sinks into my inner sea
Of nectar and brings me to life
On your rooftops where hot
Air balloons hover in crocus flames
I yearn to cry out your classical name
I am silenced by your sweet roasted
Chestnut silk smoke that overwhelms
The hissing citrus rain
So I fall to my knees shaking
With desire
Cherishing this eternal ritual
In bittersweet blue
Until the euphoric moment
That you blush in technicolour
When I say how I adore you
