a nut-job angel walks the earth

[elf_da]

a raven haired maid with intense eyes,
eyes that share their hue with the earth.
her mind full of chaos,
her words filled with confessions.
her heart full of passion,
and her actions overflowing with conflict.

dancing in her madness,
like a ballet of the disturbed.
she catches me up in her snow white arms
i am ensnared in her tangled web
of bliss.
i cannot surrender myself to this folly
i will not believe those pleasant sounds
issuing from between those sweet, rose petal lips.

i know better.

someday i will ask what went through my mind
and i will remember.
the sweet smell of her skin,
how the world stopped when i held her in my arms.
the way the clouds parted when she smiled.
and how i knew, all the while
that this was madness.
her madness. my own.

i walked into a trap
a trap i may have very well set, myself
knowing full well that i would later smart
for my foolishness.

i will remember how i yearned
to brush my fingers against her cheek
press my lips to hers
feel her body against mine
even in a innocent embrace.
how my tongue suddenly became poetic,
just to see her smile.

while i know someday i will
shake my head and sigh
at the very least
i will know the reason why.
