Heart beat stutter like a broken hi-hat,
Saw you walking, time stopped, couldn’t fight back.
Eyes lit a blaze, burning temples in my mind,
Lost in the maze, no map, no signs.
Falling, freefall but no parachute,
Words caught in my throat, went mute.
This what poets talk ‘bout, love in its debut,
A melody in my chest, tune feels brand new.
Mix of fear and elation, hurricane in my gut,
Eyelashes casting shadows, jawline like a cut.
Heard my name in your laugh, symphony got tight,
Bridge over silence, crossed in moonlight.
Velvet touch in the brush of your hello,
Heart heavy bassline, strings dipped in mellow.
You painted my air in colors I ain’t know,
Forever spins fast, but baby, I’ll go slow.
Truth hit me sudden, like jazz in a silent hall,
Built my fortress high, you just climbed the wall.
Lights turned golden on a once gray hue,
Falling into you, sky endless, shade blue.
Falling, freefall but no parachute,
Words caught in my throat, went mute.
This what poets talk ‘bout, love in its debut,
A melody in my chest, tune feels brand new.
