Swell

In my mind, I have tasted.

These satin nights where I
long for the silk of your kiss.
My thoughts and my most
secret place quiver for you.

I want what your eyes have seen,
what your heart has known.
How I crave your essence,
the poison of perfection.

I ache for every part of you
to fit within. Your face,
your words slipping beneath
my skin.

I squirm in my chair, trying
to push my world against yours.
I yearn for your wandering hands.
The luxurious intoxication of your love.

I want you to burn for me
the way I burn for you.
To grow drunk off the pleasure-
pain of loving you.

Lift my dress and fill me
with your sweet madness.
Ease your world into me.  
I yearn to know the pictures
our shadows draw together.

I want you locked
inside me forever.
Please, fall back into me.
Love the life out of me.

Shut my eyes. Silence
my lips with your fingertips.
Show me it’s simply
enough to feel.
