Images of You

In my mind's eye

I see you there

On the pedestal

That I created for you

Perfect and oh so beautiful

Larger than life

Every time I look

You're even more than before.

Perhaps ~

If my vision of you

Was not tempered

In stained glass

I wouldn't be left

Blinded by the glare.

Maybe then I'd

Be able to see

That you, are

Mortal as Me.

I'm charmed by you

Warmed by your smile

I'm lost in it all.

I'm a child

Intimidated by the strength

That breaks down my wall.

I fear and want

At the same time

I roll the dice

Take the risk

And pray for the outcome.
