Frozen Beauty

coincidental circumstance
in which we first met;
unlikely happenstance
of having mutual friends.
...

examining the rationale
to confess this masquerade-
my angst could be unfounded
yet i'm beyond afraid.
...

force yourself
in conversation
though questioning
the situation
...

you trigger strange emotion
i can't seem to express-
you're so unaware
of the power you posess.
...

a profound recognition
[of flaws to be adored]
a lasting intimate connection
[never to be bored]
...

rush to me
in sweet embrace
rewrite passion
across my face
...

just curl yourself
inside this dream
let down your guard
if just for me
...

my feelings will always
stay the same
but for once my actions
have to change
...

Smiling with that
look in your eyes;
It always take me
by surprise.
...

I wasn't prepared for you
and I've nothing to say,
as you smoke my cigarette
in a precarious way-
...

unique premonitions,
[keeping me from sleep]
sudden intuition,
[things I shouldn't see]
...

all those late night phone calls-
just to hear you speak;
with nothing left to say,
i'd listen to you breathe.
...

can you see it in her eyes
does it take you
by surprise
did you find
...

resisting my roots,
ignoring my flaws;
who are you to be
invading my thoughts.
...

she speeds home to apologize;
she didn't mean what she said.
tears welling up in her eyes,
she clutches the note to her chest.
...

hold me tightly
in your arms,
though permanently
temporary.
...

whether you believe
times have changed
or people don't
it's all the same
...

i forgot the pieces that wouldn't fit
-as you fed my hope and smiled for me-
you held my hands and kissed my lips
-though your actions lied to some degree-
...

fall with me into the waves
flooding from within
melancholy oversight
seeping through my skin
...

searching for a missing piece
in everything
you think you need,
but if you just saw yourself
...
