Frivolous Chase

All eye admiration flood upon your presence Beyond words, this mind bleeds, Crushed by your metaphysical yet practical brilliance Deafened by the hilarity of your quirks Envying those that may embellish in your jests Frozen in tears where the past brings smiles Groveling beside the untouched potential How is it you excel among such fetid company? Initiating your moon-shines like the sun is your god Jumping jacks pounding these ever depressing soles Kittling the fingertips mindfully so Lackadaisically glancing upon our stranger-friend relationship Mustering the audacity to surmount your eccentricities No one could ever quite notice before Opulent in knowing you have captured so many Pained inside to the very last penny Quenched from courage, I remain caged in your glory Rabid to agitate your unacquainted waters Suckling upon the overflow— The leftovers that offer richness I will never know Understanding you wholeheartedly—I quiver Violated by the comfort tease of your words Wondering how love can surface upon unsteady oceans X chromosome searching for a sharp fool within a current of chaos Y chromosome spinning, slightly hidden with a small, sparkly smile Zealous in the frivolous chase—I was latched from the start

WTF! How did I not see this sooner? "L" is something I used to know all too well. This was utterly incredible. "H" is a very vital line. How did they indeed! Striking the hearts of many with such ease...this is what you do so well.

Love how you close this fine composition of spectrum wide admiration Laura. "Understanding you wholeheartedly I quiver...deafened by the hilarity of your quirks" I love it all. A FAV.
