Forever

 

Like a sunset in the evening hour,
I am coming down from you
I am blinded by the sharp light of
your warm eyes
How I wish to hold their gaze and
be the eternity,
the infinite structure,

the perfect photogragh inside their colors

 

You will have me forever
wrapped in cloth so soft your hands will
never feel empty again
and we will dance together,
like lovers in the dark
and I will pull away the pain from
your heart and eat it like chocolate
because the only thing better than chocolate is you
like when our lips will melt into one another and
the beginning is the end and you are me and I am you

 

We could make love,

in all the rooms we ever walk through
with your face between my pale thighs
and my fingers tangled into your hair
we could take each other again and again

like medicine

 

pure possession

 

I crave a lifetime of feeling your
name escape off my tongue, past my teeth and
into your skin
I want to read you every poem ever written,

my voice cracking under the pressure of your sigh
as you moan into the night,

because I know exactly what you like
and how you like it

 

because you are me and I am you and

music blooms when you are near me
and I am keeping all the songs close
because I will sing them all to you when you are sad
or breaking
i will glue you back and

kiss the lines forming under your flaming eyes
I will kiss you like the sun kisses the moon goodnight

 

forever
I will kiss you forever

Thank you so much. You and me

Thank you so much. You and me both... This was definitely a fantasy poem but the reality of it is I can actually love in this way. There's just no takers :(. Such is life. I should have titled it "where is my dream girl damn it". Haha.

I completely understand.

I completely understand. That's a shame. You seem like a really amazing, deep, dynamic person from what I can see via your poetry. Which is, you know, basically the window into a poet's soul Haha.
