Love was a great predicament
and a riddle
she moved behind the eyes
of conversations unspoken
and the kinetic desire
pulsing from touch.

She swayed like Autumn
buzzing electricity in the ears
and curling with the grin
of secrets spread across the lips.

She was powdered aphrodesia
whispering soft lashes winking
at the raised eyebrow arch
of bare skin and
broken smiles.

Love was magnetic.
She was raw vulnerable
behind layers of painted sarcasm
spread across her eyes
that left her expose without regard.

She was damaged in a way
that made her priceless
as she flowed into the tears
of those who spoke her name
with a voice that was cold like Mercury.

And in the breaking morning
she dazzled across the lawn
in dewdrops to reflect
your light onto the world.

Love was unanswered questions
extended "what if"'s
and hopeless longing.

She thought of you when she knew
she shouldn't
and she danced inside your skull
to spin your dreams around her skirts
and entangle your thoughts in her laughter.

Love was a great predicament
and a riddle
she moved into the constant ache
resting under your ribs
and her smile
was a song you wanted to die to.
