There's something pastoral
about silk and midnight,
about whispers and petals,
about silence and motion.
Words spoken hang picturesque
against fading light
and become tangled in webs of confusion
but, left to simmer silently...
they swirl poetic in
hearts and thoughts.
Such is the dream of you
whispered into my thoughts
I take you...close enough to
count your heartbeats
against mine own.
I taste you...scrolling my tongue
into every silken inch
of your fullness.
I touch you...outlining definition
as pulse to skin
builds in breathless tones.
I memorize you...realizing that
some day I will want to remember
how close to heaven I've been.
I annoint you...sharing my essence
as we cleave unto the
molten seas we purge.
I adore you...painting porcelain
on skin so perfect
surely the gods had something to do with it.
I inhale you...finding your sweetness
so consuming that I cannot
ever quench this desire.
I love you...giving back to you
the same inspired devotion
that you fold into me.
In the stillness of a pastoral midnight sky
I whisper
the most beautiful name
and you whisper me.
