Bri (2) Poem by Mikel Calcagno

Why do your eyes paralyze me?
What makes me feel this way?
Just carry me away with silence and heartbeats,
As rapid thinking about your embrace
and how it makes me feel.
I just want to feel this way forever.
Sleep on portraits painted as perfect as you.
Why have I been given the chance to fly?
When I'm not with you I feel lesser alone.
I remember your face, imprinted on angels;
Your voice as beautiful as the sounds of waves,
crashing against my heart.
Time slows down when you look at me.
I'm infatuated with this, infatuated with you.
It's so hard for me to understand why
I hadn't found you before; don't dull away.
Hold my hand.
Please...
