In You

the waters
that drizzle upon you
stroke your senses.

swaying to the rhythm
of the night’s stars
that we count
endlessly
bottling each one
within our own emotions.

in you we stare
mesmerized by
streaks of beauty
we stare into shells of mirrors.

in you
the whimpering night
sings its own
as misguided time chases
each whispering word.

in you
my thoughts are instilled
robbing my words
a criminal in the night
penetrating the quietness
touching the unknown thief.

yet
it
still
sways.
in
you,
drizzling.

chasing illustrations
of those fiery clouds,
smoke exhausted
from an angels
wings
so you articulate.

in you I am
hypnotized,
mesmerized
by your presence.

in you
in you I am
breathing.
