Apparently inspired by my lactose intolerance, this piece came to be by a phrase that caught my attention: "If I could make a living off of loving you..." and I simply finished the sentence. As cheesy as this may be, this is a sweet reminder that love offers something special if you're lucky enough to stumble upon it.
For the Love of Money
The taste of your lips spell out the birth of a new currency
And your eyes, once made of coal from the dark world
At once form into brilliant intricacies of crystallites
Warmth radiating from your embrace is that
Alike to liquid silver, savory and encompassing
Against my skin, broke like china met by concrete
That look in your eye alone equates
To the shimmer of jade upon sapphire upon ruby
A phenomenon found easier than mining through musky caves
A love riskier than investing in the stock market but
Withholds power greater than anything else imaginable
Your hand in mine, a pen on the face of a check
Placing me in your metal safe
Beside treasures of great value, I cannot name
The key residing neatly in the place I call home; your heart of gold
For a living made by simply loving you
Would transform a poor soul into a billionaire
