Unable to sleep and somewhat distant
I was nevertheless mesmerized
By your form, curled fetal
Deceptively innocent seeming

The attraction is simple:
A dark cold soul
Drawn like a moth
To a burst of vibrant life

Opposites truly
But only in your polarity
To my greatest vice
My lack of vivacity

Eyelashes: cherubic
Body: vulnerably prone
I watch and dream of reveling
In the taste of your life essences

Despite our waking
Shared understandings
You confound me
After my nocturnal musings

You wake later and allow -
No beg me to do
Under Maria's benevelant gaze
What I only longed for on my own vigil.
