You are a forest of stars traversing
the galaxy of my dormant desires
as I study the north and south of you

Your mysterious gaze embellishes me
with the ardor of a sensual touch
through the plumage of my existence

There is a precision in your smile
while the salvation of your thoughts
caresses me like a lost memory

You color my internalized universe
as if my heart was a fern growing
at the cold foundation of my solitude

My hatred and embittered views
are like ships that have capsized
with all of my beliefs on board

Your grace is the depth of an ocean
that isolates me from a callous world
and your faith is an uncharted island

You are a bright beacon of solid hope
on the steep slopes of forested hills
slicing clouds throughout my dreams

There are fountains in all your steps
cascading over emotional precipices
that no one else has ever conquered

My heart has been rescued once more
by the incessant beating of your own
and the undying devotion borne of love
