Eyes Closed


What do 
I have to do
To make you fall
In love with me
 
Is it my looks
That scare you
Does my countenance
Bring chills 
Up your spine
From how unappealing 
I’ve become
For your eyes
 
Could you
Fall in love with me
With your 
Eyes closed
 
Pretend for a moment
That you can’t see
But can hear
 
Because
I can guarantee 
You’ll fall in love
With the sound of my voice
 
How it echoes
Into your ears
Leaving footprints
In your heart
 
The poems
I’ll recite 
The songs 
That’ll be sung
Will be the smooth
Honey that oozes out
Of my mouth
To overflow your cup
Simply by 
The sound of my voice
 
The smell
Of autumn’s breeze
Mixed with
Apple cider
Topped by the
Peach cobbler flavor
Of my lips
Can magnify 
Your majesty 
From afar
 
The way
I’m built 
Not as fit
To a fashion model’s
Size
But small enough
To where
I can be your
Little teddy bear
That you can
Hide
In the branches 
Of your arms
 
Small enough
Where you can
Lift me high 
Towards 
The night sky
Collecting stars
For both you and I
 
To put
In our milky way 
Galaxy
As we build our empire
And God willing
Our soon to be
Family
 
There’s so much
That can be done
So much 
To what we can do
If you learn
To fall in love
Only
With your eyes closed.

I have a garden In my mind I nourish it And keep it kept Because in my mind Is where everything Starts From the Optimistic vibes To the pessimistic sides Analyzed Within my mind It all starts With you Within your mind It all starts with you.
