In love with you
Wrapped up in wonderment
Spun taught within your web
Of beautiful enchantment
I never wish to be free from this
Fantastic entanglement
Of your desirous kiss
The prevalent procurement
From the brilliant abyss
Where you found me a remnant
Resting restlessly in rusted abandon
Your lips the nourishment
That lifted me lovingly into liberation

For Jaime McCalla
Pull taught your fishing net
Make ready to shove from shore
Quickly before the moon has set
Let’s begin the metaphor
Adrift amongst a sea of stars
I follow the twinkle of her eyes
Pulling me to her like pulsars
In ways I can’t begin to conceptualize
We descend into the ionosphere
Limbs tangled and grasping for hold
Push through into the atmosphere
Unconcealed and uncontrolled
Plunge deep into the seas of midnight
Waves of luminescence washing over us
As we surface under the moonlight
Breathless and victorious
In each others arms
Valorous
