oh alexius,
your name rolls off my tongue
with a delicacy
each syllable perfectly timed
you are a phenomenon
running through my veins
straight into my heart
strumming daintily at my heartstrings
you've got the type of face that
drives poets into eternal frenzies
the type you can create endless poems about
your nose bridge is a cluster of constellations
your irises ablaze; a supernova falling into place
in your hands you hold the entire damned galaxy
you smile and the stars align
you smell like lavenders and warm honey
reminiscent of undiluted grace
i was below the crystal clear waters when you hit me
without a warning in the face like glimmering sun rays
your love exceeds physical boundaries
it touches me where i'm ruined the most
tending my crippled ribcage
uprooting the overgrown weeds
making peonies and chrysanthemums blossom
you are magical
you are a breathing poem
(a colossal reverie)
i find you lurking ever so lightly in the back of my mind
i can't get you out and
it's driving me crazy.
