in
the quiet
still
compactness
of the moment

i taste
the air
hard upon my tongue
reluctant
within my chest

a...

of you
my fingers dream
unknown curves
untouched knees
thighs
hips

of you
my lips thirst
a mythical taste

tha...

i dream of your lips
and the laughter that dances behind your eyes
and of the quiet evening
by the fire
when we will...

wish that i were
the kiss upon your lips
to stay
as we part
and sigh
to be
the taste
of our passion
moist
and r...

to dance my hands
around your hips
and across your back

to draw you toward me
so closely
that breath is an effort

somehow i know
you would never have even spoken to me
in high school

and that makes you
scary
somehow

i wonder
...

and
in that moment
i felt hollow.

utterly unseen
and unknown.

wearing an echo
where i dream my heart to lay.

i imagine
waking beside you
eyes half closed
hearing you rise
and watching
your shadow’s shape
move across the roo...

entwined
i taste passion
upon your lips
and thirst

would that i could
consume and savor passion
both at once

to...

beneath a sky
dappled with stars

i tasted you
upon my lips

chocolate
could not hope to compare

i find myself
wishing

time
would slow

so
between the beats

i could watch you smile

still tasting
your kiss
upon my lips

wondering

on the magic
i taste
when we touch

liquid sunshine
lingers upon my lips
and is savored

i will not
dream of
maypoles
and mud

though
upon her lips
lives
sun-baked
earthen
love

just
not for me

I sit here

still

and am satisfied
by the thought of you

and how it washes
over me

warmly

and slowly.
