Beautiful Disaster

you always close your eyes when I kiss you

should I close my heart when I miss you

should I ride into your fairy tale

and claim you as my prize

I drink in the red wine of your eyes

as the music dances in my head

intoxicated with the riotous possibilities

of you naked in my bed

can my heart beat any faster

you and I

what a beautiful disaster 

I hold you close

with all my might

tie our fate between my teeth

what a beautiful disaster

we might make

if only for a moment 

in a perfect moment

my hand flat on your chest

laying in the darkness

your heart beats warm and childlike

I feel complete in our serenity

if only for a moment

but are you really laying next to me

or somewhere far away

dreaming of something else

you can't or won't convey?

I'll hang upside down on your dreaming tree

can you be the woman I need you to be 

can I capture lightning in my fist

will you be my beautiful disaster
