Marvelous Travels

I've made a map of your marvelous mind

and rode along your train of thought for quite some time

as the big wheels continued to wind

you shared secrets most would

never find

provoking the sleeping

butterflies inside

you admire the flushing of my cheeks

quite aware of the beautiful chaos you're causing

you invent my future between your

long pauses

I reside inside a captivating gaze

finding myself swimming around the deep pools of iris

weaving a basket of feelings into thoughts to try to make sense of this

you make me so alive

so vibrant

I prayed in silence

that those eyes would no longer look to anyone else

never leave me in the dark

stranded by myself
