the first time
cataclysmic

the times that followed
never dulled
never diluted

just
always you
always exquisite

the last time
will never be
the last time

i will never
not want more

such is the taste

such is your grace

and you will always be
my most sordid

each cadence
#timed
to perfection

exquisite anticipation
heavy
in each pregnant pause

the luscious lilting
binding
syllable to syllable

succumbing once more
to sound
and stirring

compelled by you
my beautiful poetess
reciting reveries

drown me in your verse again

earnestly

i dedicate another verse to you

you know how many times
you've been my muse

how many times
i've penned my adoration

maybe i should simply tell you
exactly how much i fancy you

the words
you choose
for the fervour
you feel
will never not be
relevant to my interests

the potential
of your arcane disclosure
stokes my passions
like nothing else

like no one else

just imagine
held in the tenderest embrace
what would happen
if
we
kissed

were it #achievable
by will alone
i would lend sound
to your every silent sentiment

maybe
it's that your voice
echoes my own
that i hear you
with such aching clarity

the artist
that made me muse

the dreamer
that envisioned me lover

speak darling
i am always listening

in smiles
and light

in discordant beats

in dreams that slip from me
upon waking

in reveries i'll never not recall

in quiet miracles
and abstract faith

in nameless senses

in the inexplicable certainties

how else
are we #measurable

how else can i tell you
how much
