Words I sip at
like a fine brandy
from these lips
to their alcoholic warmth
deep in my
intoxicated heart
where your dark eyes
draw out
my hidden passion
in waves

Words I've discovered
are deeper than
my own sea
and as powerful
in their rolling storms
that hold my eyes
and shake my soul
to admiration

Words that move
my inner mountains
Until I can walk
into your world
and see where
the beauty
comes from
and the words
