Gelatinous Spyglass

Eyes twitch within their wandering bulge
amazed at the sting they must indulge
from pilfering time to serenade
while poking through your heart's palisade.

Nothing can taint this brave lethargy
since my baby must be fleeing me
at dawn's cresting advance resplendent
till distance goads passion transcendent.

This ache shall quake my sorrow awake
since I can't brake to swap this mistake;
we could pursue more than just adieu
as we break through to let love imbue.

You offer hush in a voice most plush
while caressing my frustration blush
with that velvety index finger
motions murmur as our souls linger.
