when I think of you
delirium daydreams
dementia of desire
caught in a whirlpool of lust
swept up in the swirling current of 
my emotions
all angel dusted with dreams
of hot turgid mental illness
tropic of tumultuous timidity that has me
trapped in a messed-up mind

my darling the delirium is sweet
filled with starlight kisses that melt 
with the morning sweat of awakening
the realization of a fevered sleep
passing time that has frozen the passion
in a moment’s madness
when I think of you

will it end?
this symphony of discord that drives me to
love day in and day out
this tremor in the heart valve that beats to the 
magic of your essence
this delirium of delight
when I think of you
