brilliant & wonderful

one brilliant day
is all that i ask
to show you how
wrong and reveal
just what i’m made
of, and behind closed
doors perhaps give
you a peek at what
lingers inside

this heart desperate
for love which beats
awfully strong in
the way that it must.
and if i’m a good little
boy maybe you’ll stay
for more than a minute
and many a sunset
until one of us dies.
