Without Further Ado

All these unnecessary plateaus

Every one of these I can't let goes

Stop gap and pass through

How I wished you'd fall for me

Without further ado

A heart reduced to particles

Caught between past participles

Part and parcel of parsing out

A love that lingers unrequited

Leaving me persona non grata

No parsimony found within

I'd fall for you like a ton of bricks

I've never loaned my love for sin

Say the word and I'm all in

Though I'm not a gambling man

Odds at odds with this here hope

But I know you make my brain light up

And I'm dancing with these chemicals

Still trying to hoist these torches

Just praying for you to be the fuel

Ready to go up in smoke

How I've longed to be this close

To see the chain reaction stabilized

Praying for this fusion

A mushroom cloud of wide dispersion

Your beauty is a clear blue bolt

Scattering through my sunset skies

Like a meteor crashing to this Earth

Arcing like thunder in my mind

You vivify these pieces

Bringing this to life

Setting motion in the stillness

Anathema to entropy refined

Yet still so far away

A stained-glass heart in disarray

A delicate melody seeking a harmony

You're a sight for sore eyes

A longing left paused, held like a note

And yet you still set my heart singing

A dissonance remains that I cannot resolve

A desire for you I fail to dissolve

Each attempt another false start

An honest path to be walked

But never welcomed

I wish it was me in your arms

Here this heart remains on offer

Hearsay but I say you'll do better

And already I hear you are

Falling for another

Without Further Ado
