Flames

August 15th 2013

11:00 a.m. 

 

We come from two 

different places

yet i can see you

across my hometown’s backyard

 

Far in realities and agreements

yet close in spirits that have ways

of intertwining the pieces of us that

fall apart

 

Your soul connects with mine 

because without you

i stay as a ribbon 

cut and frayed

 

But your match-like 

fire burns my edges 

til they stay

 

Closed together forever

you burn an infinite light

within me

 

And sometimes that’s why

I think i’m scared of the 

dark

 

But I’ll run wildly

through fields at night

if it means I get you 

at the end of my lark

 

For a place without you 

leads me to believe 

that love can truly

blow out one day

 

And so I want to hold you so long 

that my hands never forget

the feeling of

 your arched back’s sway

 

The touch of your lips

against my body and hips

is something I could

wake up to every morning

 

And every night away

from your warm tender touch

leaves me lacking of

caress and adorning. 

 

Kiss me to sleep

play with my hair

and laugh

 til we can’t any longer

 

These are what I ask of you

and in return I’ve got

more than you even know

 i’ll offer.

 

We’ll burn together

through moons upon moons

Until our wax has just about 

run out

 

But until then I’ll stay curious

to discover every flicker

of what you’re 

all about.
