Elliot
With electric blue irises
Rivalling the artificial neon hues of a nightclub
That shade of blue cannot be fathomed
Like the elusive ocean waves-
You never know when the tsunami comes
You can only sense the signs
The smile on your face never falters
But your irises always flicker in
Different shades of blue
They say a picture speaks a thousand words
But your eyes pierce through souls like the heat of the sun
Your story etched in their memories
A calm before the storm
Before the breakdown
There's a constant conflict in your mind
Some things are just out of your control
And you find it hard to believe
That someone could love someone like you
You don't want to hurt them but
You end up doing it anyway
One minute
You're up in the air
High on life
An insomniac
Delusional but elated
And the next moment
You feel the urge to die
Everything leaves you irritated
You sleep for days
These manic-depressive episodes leave you drained
All you want to be is just
Elliot
\\
You are an Adonis
Golden rays highlight the contours of your face in an angelic light
Hair like an unruly lion's mane
Paired with your
Sharp eyes and chaotic energy
You remind me of
A physical manifestation
Of Leo
You are temptation
Dressed up in divine silk
Beautiful in your own right
But one would be a fool to believe the sun's light
That shines on you
You are more than that-
You are a sin so fine
One would almost say that you are like expensive wine
So you wait till the moon rises
And you draw them
Closer
Closer to the tunnel where you reside
Hoping
That you're a risk worth taking
Beckoning all who flee from the night
Into the reaches of the abandoned park
In Paris
