... because my socks don't match
By Lylani
Your mind is of reason
Mine is of imaginings
You have logic and
rules
I have chaos and wonder
I wonder how you cannot see
the magic
Of cascading leaves in autumns hues
Or the lure of
a solitary rose in bloom
To you it is biology, nothing more
Am I wrong to wish you truly saw
The color of my hair
When
brought to life by a fickle breeze
Under summers golden sun
Or
for you to see more in my eyes
Than their physical being
Is it just vanity that longs
To hear your love of me
In metaphor
and verse
Filled with a dreamscape of desire
Or a canvas
adorned with your idea of me
Pure colors and form
Though
I know
If you were an artist
We would make love for hours
Feeling the waterfalls of passion
Break upon our flesh
You
would know my curves by heart
As you commit them to page
We would
whisper
sweet nothings of angel dreams
But we would not
last
For an artist could never tame
My fluctuating moods
Passions
of desire would turn
To fury
But you my dear scientist
Have captivated me
For I cannot understand you
And you seem
baffled by me
Once, I asked you why you loved me
You told
me a thousand different reasons
That never make sense
Like ,
my socks never match
And my energy never tires
But mainly
Because my logic defies reason and I am simply me

this left a hanging ache throughout the work, but wrapped it all up in a sigh of contentment at the end... practically uplifting. Nicely done.
