(I Love) You

A cadence of eternal melancholy lullaby
A heartache shaped as clouds of splendor masking coming storm
An unexpected miracle numbered gracefully among the stars
A melody in my bloodstream, a tingle on my aching skin

Such are you

You are meter, flow and rhythm
harmony and dissonance
You are city midnight and country sunrise,
Heart stopping nightmare and listless day dreams
You are atoms of gentle and cells of steel
You are a breathtaking disaster
You are my home in this storm

I will shrink these many words into three.
And let the three flow from my heart to your waiting ears,
Some day.
