Misunderstood

I met her where the stars align,

In a world of swipes and distant signs,

A Brazilian fire, fierce and bright,

A soul that dances through the night.

Her spirit roams where few would dare,

A heart that craves the open air.

Intense, she loves with all she is,

No half-heart steps, no timid kiss,

Yet behind her smile, a story aches,

Of promises made and love that breaks,

She told me of dreams that won’t sit still,

Of broken chains, of a stubborn will,

You crave a partner, fierce and true,

Someone to dive off cliffs with you,

To match your storm, to ride your flight —

To burn with you deep into the night.

But me?

I’m still unsure, a maybe, a might,

Chasing a dream on the edges of night.

Not one to promise what can’t be kept,

Not one to rush where angels have stepped.

You’re intense — a beautiful blaze,

I’m the shadow of a flame.

Maybe I’m what you’re looking for,

Maybe I am just a bit more.

Am I the riddle you can’t quite solve,

The dance you crave but can’t involve,

The question shouted through your sleep,

Mistaken answers buried deep.

You — a wild heart from Amazon skies,

Me — a question behind quiet eyes.

I’m not a prize to simply win,

I’m the journey — the pull from within.

If you want me — chase me wild,

Not with promises, not with guile,

Submit to me completely and then

maybe, just maybe… I’ll let you in.
