A Physical Delusion

You held a subtle magnetism 
that gradually infiltrated my 
perception, like the leaf of a 
tree in the springtime soaking 
up beams of my awareness. 
This interaction propelled 
affection like photosynthesis. 
My yearning pigmented our 
atmosphere a lush and vibrant 
hugh as the chlorophyll of my 
expression catapulted into the 
Earth and encased me in the 
beautiful construction of my 
emotions. You served as an 
oblivious  co creater of a fragile 
structure composed of my own 
assumptions; brought forth into 
physicality from the abstract 
planes in which timelines are 
dreamt. It seemed to branch 
out from a deeply instilled seed 
raised up through the apex of 
the tangible Into a resemblance 
of something so magnificent it 
transcended the boundaries of 
the senses. I had become a 
prisoner of this structure and 
drifted off with it yet without 
the senses it felt like the 
utmost freedom. When you left 
you took with you the core 
foundation of this intricate 
ladder; growing skyward like a 
vine composed of every gaze, 
every declaration, the static of 
our intertwined flesh. I found, 
without this foundation, I could 
not find my way back down. 
Physicality now a vague 
memory as I float outside of 
gravitational forces.
