LOVE ME FROM AFAR

 

 

I am Icarus to your sun

I am entranced by your beauty

Singed by the sound of your laughter

Lifted by the weight of your gaze

They say eyes are windows to the heart

Then your heart is a furnace 

For your eyes breathe fire

A fire I long to drown in 

Look into my windows

Into the house I have built for you

Lie on the beds made of silk and Peacock's feather 

And there you shall shame Aphrodite

But when you look,do not come in

For the Book says that she that comes by the windows comes to steal

And my heart remains with me

For I love none but me...
