I got poems 
in my heart for you 
but I can't get them out. 
For weeks now 
I've been writing you 
inside my mind, 
playing with the words, 
looking for the rhyme. 

You stop time 
with your eyes 
you own me complete 
the blue and the green 
inside a fury 
of colour and dreams.

A maddening desire 
you ignite inside, 
keeps me up 
most nights I can't sleep 
because I'm lost in the deep 
and all I do 
is think about you 
and all the little things 
you do. 

You blow me away, 
each new day 
a different shade 
and I no more feel 
the rain inside my brain 
nor the ache inside 
my absent space. 

You light up my world, 
my heart ablaze 
does burn and burn. 
The love it floods, 
pure red 
through and through. 
I go under in the rush 
come back coloured new.
