define

tell me I'm beautiful
and beauty is not
a lemon rind spritz
of impulsive credibility

tell me I'm worth it
and worth is not
little golden coins
in goblin banks

tell me I'm courage
tell me I'm fire
and tell me you would burn
for one instant of a touch

    lovely

    I think that you are talking about a love that is real, not infatuation where someone sees you and is struck with attraction and thinks you're worth a million dollars.
    To this one you are deserving real love, a real live, personal, and even a spiritual love. That one would die just for a moment with you because that is the moment they were truly alive.

    That is my understanding, that is the way I prefer to understand it. This is beautiful and should have a beautiful meaning to it.

    You are my most beautiful consummation, blessed with
    an aura that grows under the suns crystal shadows
    reflecting in the mirrors of aging eyes.

    You are more worthy than life itself, as valued with
    the ring of my arms that wraps eternity now
    in an endless core of being everywhere here.

    You are the spark, the fuel, and the burn
    that has lovingly scorched not just my living soul,
    but many living souls.

    I do burn my heart out for you,
    for your touch, for you.

    Loving you dangerously,
    Your furious other & burning desire
