Ronaldo Gilley

I am in over my head, I am past the point of return

I am an addict, facing myself to learn, coveting the substance for which I yearn

My sunrise, you give me wings, you make me sore, you remove my fear

My heart’s desire, my emotional sanctuary, my morning cheer

You sing my heart’s song – my muse, my melody

First to all, secondary to none, you are an elegant delicacy

Exuberant, electric, empowering, and weakening

My heart overflows, my cup runs over, your valley is forever deepening

When my capacity gets low, I use the pieces left of you to breathe

Taking you into my lungs to revitalize the pieces of me that need to feed

Ecstatic, exhilarating, and reinvigorating – you make me whole

Stimulating my mind, arousing my passions, and fueling the fire in my soul

The intoxication of your natural fragrance is pure elevation

Addictive from first consumption, leaving me insatiable and incapable of moderation

I consume all I have of you until there is nothing left

So tied to the high you provide that I can taste you on my breath

Falling from the sky, I am finding it hard as I detoxify

Because yours was so potent that no other drug gets me as high

I would crash and burn a million times over – why?

Knowing the outcome, I would fly into your flame again just to get a buzz

Because beyond and above all other drugs, I choose love
