Constant

It's the
Devil in the detail
The look in your eyes
The shotgun for a mouth
Keeping me on my toes

It's the smile
of a queen
spread wide at the
sound of your name
 
&
Your voice,
The voice of reason
the voice of lullabies
sating me more than
any drug ever could.
 
It's the constant
'I love you's and
the querying into my day
It's the secrecy of kisses
pressed into the corners
of my mind

&

The earthquakes
when you tell me
I'm yours.
My heart a dying bird
On the branch of your adoration

A balancing act of trust
'If you don't let go
I won't'
Hidden words
Hidden lives
   For the present
Because I
  Will see your eyes
As I fall asleep.

You will be
My now, my then, my to-be

The bearer of

my soul
Laid bare across your chest
Drinking in the potion of your
warmth.
