I’m building monuments to my Empress
Chiseling away the marbel to impress
Will the intoxicating brown eyes gaze upon me today
Leaving me in the warm light with nothing to say
Conquer the fortress of my solitary being
Show me your heart, something worth seeing
Closer and closer to each other we creep
But never touching as prudence we must keep
Disentangle the passion of those troublesome loves
Philia and Eros wrestling for control like rabid doves
We can figure it out one day at a time
Step until our steps begin to rhyme
-CL Fuqua
