Crazy

This dizzy, dreaming destiny
is a death--a rebirth, everything
I could never resist.  And I stop,
start, and stop, again--fooled
into following the moment:
my own heart betrays,
and I forgive.  Still,
this is more than just a casual risk.

You wreck me, your crazy,
brown-eyed girl.  And I laugh,
a little shy of reason, more dangerous
than you ever give me credit for--
careful, lover, if you ever forget
the roots of my Lilith smile.

Somehow, you redeem me,
out from underneath your skin--
your touch is a brilliant treason,
the kind of defiance that crosses lines,
and unravels all manner of good senses,
and I would take your farther than this,
but you've already taken me.
