Promises
His eyes are every shade of green;
 an imperfect hazel
 that perfectly paralyze me.
 
 Then he speaks; his words feel so right
 but surrender to the serenity of 
 his voice.
 I have no choice 
 but to kiss 
 his lips
 as my body submits to his whole
 essence. 
 
 His wings that define him,
 on his back are defined in,
 black ink that I run my fingers over,
 connecting the lines 
 and intricate designs;
 such permanence is promising.
 
 Like a swan devoted to her lover,
 one heart stops and so does the other.
 The only finger that obtains a vein
 connected to the heart
 embraces the letter “R”, for his name
 that haunts my conscious mind
 and unconscious mind,
 there’s no way I could deny
 how his smile doesn’t shine
 for anyone but me.
 
 But he’ll never get how I can’t forget
  the way he laughs at the world, 
 the slightest tilt of his head
 when he’s pensive,
 or the way his shoulders tense
 when he’s mad for 30 seconds;
 and in those 30 seconds time sinks and slows
 and I’m afraid I’ll never rekindle our perfect flow.
 And I hurt.
 And I miss the way
  he misses me.
 
 But it’s not too late
 as the warmth of Fate
 brings back his consoling hand.
 And his eyes of green,
  always redeem
 and paralyze me again.
