Written August 21st, 2001
you've whispered my name in my ears,
and tickled them with your sincerity...
you've poured your elixir into my soul,
and stirred up the enchantment within me...
you've caressed my sixth sense,
and lifted my spirits onto the ninth cloud...
o, to be able to comprehend this attachment!
what yarn binds my heart unto your own?
what spell holds me, enraptured, in your gaze?
‘tis not of this earth, I daresay...
i fear you...i fear the strength and power,
i fear the fall, the failure of the incantation...
or the disinterest of the sorceror...
o, to be able to comprehend this emotion!
what shackles chain me to your soul's embrace?
what key locks my heart inside the safe of your hand?
‘tis not of this world, I'd wager...
i dread you...i dread the love and devotion,
i dread the end, the rusty decay of the irons...
or the unlocking of the cell by the guardian...
you've chased my misgivings into hiding,
and chided them at their seemingly misguided brooding...
you've murmured reassurance to my shaken certainty,
and softly sung sweet lullabies to strengthen it...
you've tamed me, charmed the cobra that is my heart,
and wound my worthless poison around your little finger...
