Feeling for You

I want to look into your eyes for all of the years missed having them in my life.

I want you closer than my skin to me
no,
closer than my veins to my heart.

If the water is you,
I’ll plunge into the ocean with no fear of getting drowned.

If the sun is you,
I’ll fly toward its core like I’ve never heard about the fate of Icarus.

The magnolias are as restless
as my neck
since they’ve heard your name.

I’ve lost my senses
and don’t know how I feel
