Aberrations of Lens and Time

I ache for your stare

though it blinds me and I 

have to turn my gaze away from

your eyes

as if looking into the sun

I can't look too long

or too close

I will burn my eyes

and crush my heart down

into the ground

steaming pile of pink flesh

just lost

burning

desire

chemicals

only

natural and pure

no drugs involved

I am doped up for you

love at first sight

is wild and magical

Explosive

Like a million points of light

beaming around your smiling face

Aberrations of lens and time

Bokeh like fine wine

You blur my memory

and clocks rewind
