i saw you through a microscope
made of parchment paper
and magnetic north poles.
(you never knew
i loved you
from this far).
when i watch your eyes fold
dark against the night
my heart bursts open
and coins
clink onto the cosmic floor of devotion.
i reach into the jars
of juciy sweet copper stars
and scatter them across the paper
like a pen scrawls words of sexy skies.
i see you from the rooftop
of my supreme longing
and jangle the keys to your dreams
which i hope
will send your soul floating--
floating to me.
so i rest here on these bricks
tapping into your synapses
as my secret heartbeats
travel these north poles
to your sandy boundaries.
breathe in
breathe out
and offer your love
completely
to me.
