Clandestine Dopamine
My Juliet in the stars,
your touch of a thousand flowers
grazes my skin with honey bee warmth.
I run through the golden countryside
in hopes of seeing your face
among the symphonic winds.
Your bright comets streak my
nighttime sky in glory.
You dance through the dusty sunshine
in the window
while I stand in disbelief
of how a creature such as you
may send my love soaring
into the stratosphere.
The gypsy in you
frees the animal in me.
The ice in my veins
melts at your feet
from your gas light flames.
You make me breathe deeper,
and my heart pounds like porcupine quills
in the silence after your song.
Tell me, how exhausted do you feel
from twirling gracefully through my mind
in every breath I take?
Take my heart and hand,
and together we’ll fly away.
