Can't write a line for the fire 
burning in my mind. 
An ocean of flames, 
she ignites inside. 
A passion so deep, 
I thought long ago died. 
I buried it down 
and now it does rise.

I see a beauty in her eyes, 
a spark that's hard to define, 
even harder to find. 
Her smile sets the soul alight 
and I bask in the glory 
of her perfect light.

When I listen to you read,
such a feeling does arise
peace, 
such peace,
the kind you get 
from a very deep sleep.

It's unique, 
the way your words 
cling to me, 
soft syllables slowly rolling 
through my mind 
like a summer breeze
leave me lost
on cloud nine
in and out of time.

I want to drown
in your sound, 
swim in your sea, 
oh,
the words 
I want to hear 
you say to me.

I want you complete,
incomplete, 
between.
I want your words.
I want your silence.
I want the good, the bad.
I want all that you have.

Your stormy sea, 
your raging river,
a shining star from afar.
A silver moon quivers
lighting the abandoned
highways of my heart.

I long to feel the sun
from your smile,
taste the intoxicating bliss
of your sweet kiss,
trace the outline of your back 
chasing shadows from your mind
while watching the sunrise 
behind your eyes. 
I bathe in your golden hues 
forgetting all that was blue
lost in the mystery that is you.

An unexpected muse 
invades my mind 
at random times, 
keeps me up at night 
with want and hope 
an unrelenting dream 
she comes to me 
and my desire 
knows no bounds. 
My mind sometimes 
forgets the lines.

I was lost. 
Now found. 
No longer afraid 
to go underground. 
Sweet chaos, 
blessed be the meek, 
so unique 
and I so bleak 
such a weirdo creep 
cannot really hope to compete 
though play my hand I will.

Nothing to lose, 
I give all 
down on my knee 
begging for a fraction 
of your time 
or else an eternity.

A world inside her mind,
a desert storm, chaos
oceans in her eyes.
My stars are all aligned, 
may our galaxies collide.

Chaos in my heart, chaos in my mind,
sweet chaos breaks right through
touches the soul with light.
Where once were shades of grey 
now only rainbows divine.
