Love Poem: Colour of Your Soul

Colour of Your Soul

It takes but one
quick
glance at you to 
fall into your
eyes fatally
abducted

Enmeshed 
with your voice, nailed
to your heart and locked up
inside your mind, I am
set on 
fire 
by the way you 
move and speak 

From your
garments your essence 
spills out to
me in towering
waves 
of destruction so I can 
barely 
pretend nothing 
is happening.

But when I see your 
neck 
and body
wrapped in the colour 
of your soul my guts 
ache 
helplessly begging
for you to 
finish 
me once for all.
