Hazel eyes wishing they were blue
Staring at me with desire drenched in lemonade
Sweet and sour all at the same time

He’s an enigma
Self deprecating puzzle pieces
Dancing like flames across his lips
Spilling from his tongue like tar

Breathing in the ashes of my voice
He takes it all without a second thought
He is my violet safe haven
A place where the taste of my name is like honey

He is my favorite home
And there I live in spirit
Like fog lingering over the sea

A consummate love

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;

The term “consummate love” is a psychological phrase meaning the perfect love. The poem is about a guy who loves the author perfectly
