when I think of you I think of tulips sunlight tinged with mirth I fancy you are a force greater than gravity
sinewed attraction
fluctuations
On nights like this, oh darling on nights like this, I would press my head across your chest, and listen to the quick beats of your heart. They’d come in steady thrums, powerful and echoing, and beating down on the floorboards that home my brain. I could count them, retrace the patterns like my…
Bottles of Lavender
You are so soft and succulent so elegant in your shaping When I think of you I think of dew drops and fallen snow I dream of dancing peaches mahogany eyes brown speckled skin glittering of gold You greet me with warmth apple pies on sunny days moon rays singing …
Red Silhouettes
The taste of you is in my mouth right now heady and red crimson trickled words that spell out the sin of lust across the air I can picture you later with rose colored cheeks flaming white spread in blush tones on bedspreads setting fire across steeped pastures My tongue curls at…
The Edge of Elysian
Medusa lives in these trees she sings of this breeze cries with those leaves The branches pick and they preen form shells around soft carcasses marbled and pristine Crackling vines across rooted cemeteries She exists between earth and sky water and hell vividly unseen
Anathasia
There were clumps of sunlight clogged into your bedsheets. I remember when I first laid there. Stars atop your ceiling, and your heady laughter flittering through the sheets, licking its way into my lungs. I thought, perhaps this could be athanasia. You had the poise; with your all-to-knowing eyes- Zeus’s irises. You sat perched…

Nights Like This
I often looked to the moon for answers I would cry for her sing to her fall in love with her much like that luminous sphere did She would comfort me on nights like this when she was sitting low and my hopes were high Those craters would spell out…
Kisses of Sunlight
What does love taste like darling? It tastes of honeysuckle touches snow mixing with dirt your lips on mine Spell out the words for me Lick your lips against mine Give me a taste of your love
layers
She splayed out like coral dust and lavender sheaths Rose water leaves and honeysuckle buds I would have died for a touch
sparks
Perhaps I have dreamed too often of grasping you longing for those subtle stares the moonlight casting in the window while I trace every freckle you hold I wish I could capture all that the moonlight touches roam freely my hands on every inch of your skin it’d be like touching magic
