Invasion

My love for you blows my reason

The notions in my brain

Run oozy woozy sans sense.

I pause to think

On the beach, on the boat,

In the bar, in the light.

Yet, I fail to grasp

The fall of my brain;

That rosy mass has turned blue.

Streaks of blue and longing

Have grown inward

Seeking streams of my warm red blood.

And in they go, with some potion of the devil

Caking the cells of sanity in myself.

I feel the freeze, and I pause.

I pause to think

On the bridge, on the bus,

In the bed, in my sleep

Yet, I fail to grasp,

This death inside my head

All I feel is a frost.

That chill of love

Sprawling and stretching across the itch

I harbour in my round body.
