persuade me

By FadedBlues

come and sit beside me

let your skin explain to me
what heaven is

allow your fragrance to carry me
to a meadow of wildflowers
where I can ramble
like a deliriously happy child

can the fire in your eyes
burn away life's torments?
can those eyes ignite passion
that's been dormant too long?
(eyes that decline poetic charades)

convince me that
if I traveled for a thousand years
to a thousand star systems
I would not find a woman like you
nor a magic like this

show me that promises can be made of iron
dreams don't crumble like dandelions
and that anyone
-- anyone --
can love again

kiss me, but carefully -
I was cursed with a heart
that is not unbreakable

so come on

persuade me
