Rome

1 min readMay 7, 2021

Bike rides late at night

There’s a hint of a romantic spark

A little mystery of who you are

Is making me want to know more.

Like the Pantheon

I am the light that shines for you

Rome wasn’t built in a day

I understand I am going to need a few months to let you see that there is more to do with me.

Nights with you

When my body

Is your Roman feast

Devour me with every lick.

This connection is unexplainable

I have become the Cleopatra to your Julius Caesar

Entering your job out of nowhere

We may have changed each other’s lives.

Organic connections is what I yearn for

Eye contact and attention is what I push for

Like the Colosseum

Are we fighting against this connection?

I will be the gladiator to your heart cage

Fighting for what feels right

I just want to kiss you

Under the Roman moonlight.
