I think of you my ocean view, 
my sweet sunrise, 
my mystical moonlight blue. 
I think of you all the time, 
all the while 
drowning in my sleep. 

You drive me crazy 
with your absence. 
You drive me crazy 
with your presence. 
I love the chaos you bring, 
leaves me incomplete, 
open, breakable.

The less you give, 
the more I want. 
The more you give, 
all I want. 
I long for you 
to roam into my soul 
and make it your home. 

I see your beginning. 
I see your end. 
I see your beauty and imperfection. 
I see the light you have within. 
Moth to your flame 
I burn in desire, 
cannot help but to follow 
your glow, 
a shimmering light 
that leads me onward. 

The days are long 
but the nights are longer still 
how I wish 
I could get closer to you. 
You make my heart cry 
for the feelings you ignite inside, 
you make me want to try,
you make me want to hide. 

I can compare you 
to the moon at night, 
to the stars that shine so bright.
I can compare you 
to the sun, the golden round,
a beautiful spring morning, 
birdsong, 
to oceans bluer than blue, 
deserts vast and wonderful 
but nothing really compares 
to the picture you are to me. 

You're all of those things and more! 
A glorious silver moon 
against the black of my mind, 
an alluring mirage 
in the desert of my heart, 
stars in my eyes, a blinding sun 
leaves sunspots on my mind. 

My heart is blind, 
stars illuminate 
sweet fire, one desire 
to woo the sun 
as the moon blue. 

I think of you 
my darling muse.
