Who You Are
-by MVB
The rarest of the desert oasis
The thirsty wanderer comes across once in a million lives
The perfect potpourri
Of joy, beauty, intelligence, grace and life
All racing toward me in a rampant assault
Never giving me a chance to offer the slightest resistance.
The most sublime body and form
After which the hourglass itself was modeled
The agonizing but magical resistance
That I never want to fully break through
That I want to gently tear apart.
The most pleasing defiance
Endearing and torturing at the same time
The tangible yet unattainable happiness
Besieging my forsaken soul.
The sweetest poison
Which I would drink in an instant
A sweet drop of heaven
Gracing the barren plains of my heart
It’s who you are…
