I have been kissed by
the complexion of greatness
I wonder infinitely how
I will continue to languish
this warming wealth
The days float and dreams
crown me king, fantasy
was long in exile, but it
returns in the courtship
of her mighty radiance
My eyes, they do not question
hers, but surf in an infinite
wisdom, glittering as delight,
yes, my eyes, they do not
question hers, but my lips
lust for hers, the citadel
of blissful amnesia where
I forget all sorrows,
and part ways with happiness
And my heartbeat, though tame,
travels far by the name
and never wavers, but
spins in a lion-hearted grace
I have been kissed by
the complexion of greatness,
I wonder infinitely how
I will continue to languish
this heart warming wealth of love.
