you have loved
every inch of my flaws
your fingertips have traveled
the winding roads
of my body
taken detours
and enjoyed the scenery
you have stood
in my babbling river of words
just to feel the way
they pool around your skin
you have perfected
my imperfections
and fucked every
negative thought from my mind

when i say i like the sound of your voice
what i mean is your baritone chuckle
rumbles through my bones
like the distant thunder
in a summer storm
sticky and sweet
clinging to my skin
when i say i miss you
what i mean is without you i forget color
i no longer taste the bubblegum sunrise
my garden
which was once a candy sprinkle kaleidoscope
is now painted in shades of gray
when i say i want you
what i mean is my tongue craves the salt of your skin
like a mouthful of ocean water
i drink you in
and only want more
when i say i need you
what i mean is that i can never remember how to exhale
my breath caught in my throat
swallowing i love yous
and choking on the thick air of your absence
when i say i love you
what i mean is like a needle pointing north
you are my way home
through thickets and winding roads
you are worth the scratches and blisters
your smile is my welcome mat

she smelled like
honeysuckle and night air
but tasted of whiskey and home
her heart ran wild in a way
that made him want to chase after it
her love
caused the universe to seem small
and her kisses
could make the sun shiver
that’s why
with a sky full of stars
he was looking at the
constellations of freckles
on her skin
she was his
supernova

call me “baby”
one more time
and i might just lose it
on you
i might lose control
of my lips
and i can’t be held accountable
for the way they will
attack your body
no inch of your skin
will be safe
push me against the wall
just one more time
and you will feel
the full effect
of my passion
unleashing in your arms
tell me you love me
just one more time…
and you might just be
stuck with me

my tongue seeks out yours
sweet, like wine, i taste myself
dripping off your lips

you smell like
baby, come close
and sex on crumpled sheets
you look like
don’t close your eyes
and a full moon so close you could touch it
you taste like
may i have seconds
and licking the ocean off my lips
you sound like
look at that
and muffled moans into my thigh
you feel like
never let go
and goosebumps racing up my arms

i want to experience
a strange city with you
to discover secret places
where no one can find us
i want to walk with you
laughing
holding hands
in a foreign rain
i want to introduce our taste buds
to new flavors
and kiss you on the street
with a name we can’t pronounce
i want to watch the sun set
over a new horizon
and make love to you
on hotel sheets
i want to see the world with you
