Baboons and raccoons

This is more of a performed piece so try to imagine me saying these words to you.

Baboons and raccoons

I'm just tryna rhyme to waste time before my mind starts trying to hold you hostage.

Because, I think that smile went to college, pearly white teeth your sense of privilege.

Search the room to find your brown eyes locked me in a cottage full of promises.

Did I say brown eyes? I meant honey molten, darkly golden, sweet sun with a soft gaze that set ablaze to my heart, the engine to my everything, they say ashes to ashes but you spoke life into those ashes, had them dancing and reshaping from masses to NASA's kinetic theory of gases that these submicroscopic particles constantly move rapidly in random motions like I drank this potion, a neat glass of you. No rocks thank you.

Anyways, what I'm tryna say is my atoms, my molecules they vibrate at your sight, that energy stored within me, my soul quivers and jolts, trembles and holts when you touch me, fuck.

Baboons and raccoons. What else should I say to stop thinking about you. To stop thinking about how I love you romantically, I got shot by cupid's arrow. I love you scientifically, I bet Einstein could prove it. I love you astronomically, you're given to me by the same universe that gave us planets, moons and stars. Let's merge galaxies, be the comet, the asteroid to my planet, the sun to my day, moon to my night and shining armour to my heart. I love you religiously, you're an extension of God's love. With you He loves me with intention. I love you artistically, so fine like fine art like a product of high renaissance, Leonardo Da Vinci's been quiet lately, he saw you and passed out for centuries, said "This is beyond me". No this is beyond space and time Leo Da Vee. God didn't speak her into existence he crafted and painted her. If art could walk, talk and breathe, in fact it can and that's you. Baboons and raccoons! Trying to catch these thoughts swinging on monkey bars so far deep in my head your doctorate smile brightened everything to perfect sense. A love so intense yet so light I float about your good reasoning. I'm weakened by your resilience, strengthened by your compassion.
