Loving you is as natural as breathing.

your hands mold me, like warm clay in the sun
and your fingertips leave imprints on my skin;
your every touch is tattooed, making me into
a tapestry of your handiwork.

when we kiss, I taste stars bursting to life,
and when we fuck I feel the rumble of thunder
in the way you shiver.

crush my lungs with the weight of your need;
make me gasp, and then the tide rolls over my head and
I am submerged, immersed in you.

your sweat drips from my skin, your cries stain my lips
and little red half-moons make a trail across my back
as you scramble for a grip while we collide.
even just hearing you breathe takes my breath away;
symphonies can't communicate how much
I love you with a single exhale.
