Love Poem: The Butterflies In My Stomach

The Butterflies In My Stomach

Start at the top of my mind
Glass of fragile waters flow
Trickle at the tip of my heart
Crystals of purity form
And glow
Take hold and announce your presence
Into my dark absence
Brighten my smile
With your single dimple
I desire to make us a couple

Completely invade my soul
It has been missing your mate
This desolate island
Don’t waste even a single droplet
Be the oasis, my paradise

Love be the rope that 
Pulls me to her shore
The sand will be turned to glass
In the sheer heat of our passion
Your love will fill them to the brim
For it flows

And as I drink and savour
And this arid heart turns
Please be the florist to the garden, 
To the butterflies in my stomach
