river of sweet dreams

patience is a virtue
spitefully absent from
my genetic composition,
channeling pent-up emotions
to commandeer the
very existence of my being,
floating on your honey-tongued confessions
i am ready to dive in
and swim infinitely -
still, you throw me water wings
in the next glance that you cast
to save me from
drowning
as you repress a smile
