cover my eyes so i can see you better
my night shadow, cloaked in delicious mystery,
your hand, forbidden fruit, holding mine
under the waning light of a summer's day.
i wish
to drown with you, legs tangled in riverbank-muck
and water weeds, and yet breathe
deeper than i ever have.
to exist within hours lit
by the boyish effervescence that still clings to you
like the day's last hours of warmth, by your voice
when it speaks languages i'm beginning to understand.
when it calls my name.
your name.
i wish to run my hands through your hair
and feel your heart
as it patters against my cheek, insistent, and whisper
nobody knows.
nobody will ever understand
such wonder
as us, something fleeting and yet eternal,
hidden within birdsong and sobs.
shall i find no other?
inspired by "mystery of love"
