Unprepared

Saw you there in blue
Through a chorus of noise
As the ocean split in two
Dissonant, detuned
Found us walking away
For a sound more resolute
Some kisses
Uplifted
But distant
Diffusing
Ending quickly
Be still my heart
You stop and start
What is true?
Sure as the arc of
Cupid’s arrow
I’m unprepared for you
Pangs of love sink in
It’s a splinter inside:
Foreign objects in the skin
And now we sing of pain in unison
As the phases align
We are louder not undone
Locked in for
An instant
Uplifted
I’m trying to keep up
But trailing
Behind the drum
My heart is dumb
It serves on cue
30 to love;
Double-faulting
I’m unprepared for you
Sly passion, your dagger cuts the air
Still reeling, i’m falling hard again
Face down in love
The moon in blood
Hangs askew
Gone, dreaming of
My assassin
I’m unprepared for you
