safety inspector romance

you came to my lips
in explosive crystal flames,
called in sick (again)
to be with you, yet
you're here and mindfloat
carries me away.
there's painful, but not
because of you.
wait for strength and
it may be worth it,
soul doubt swimwaves - it's
pictures of you that
tether my feelings to
less ethereal rationale,
emanations of caring loving-kindness -
purely incidental?
pull the window shade, there's
unlived
lives staring at you
through panes.
