for my darling...

In a world so measured
Why hast thou come to thee?
I’m only familiar with beats and rhythm
Like the sounds of a clock
Footfalls on the ground
Thumping of the heart

Man has given a name
To the fathomable sea
To the wavelengths of light
To the heat underneath the earth

Volumes of sound has already been labeled
Lengths of time made exact
Even structures are fashioned with proportion
In the midst of all these
Why hast though entered thy world?
With the unquantifyable intensity of your kisses
With the infinitely addicting gentleness of your touch
And with your limitless capacity to love

It has brought upon me an unexplainable confusion
But I seem to like it just the same…
