Unbeknownst
I float
above it all
my eyes closed
my heart wide open
fingers crossed
breathing slow.
Calmly I try not to
get immersed in you.
your aura surrounds me
just like purfume
and it's far too personal
for me at least.
I'd give anything for
this urge to cease.
It's calling to me
and even the bees
can sense your honey
they flock to you like
congress men to money.
I even tried plugging up my noes
and standing on my tippy toes
so that I wouldn't fall unbeknownst.
But you, look what you do to me.
I counted to ten and damn it all till
infinity. Can't you see what loving
you does to me?
