there is a passion
within me
that few will ever see
a fire in my eyes
that you could drown in
if you know just where to look
and there is a way
that my lips
can curl into a smile
in the middle of the kiss
and a way that my body
will melt into an embrace
and somehow
there is a way
that you have brought
all of these things
out
in me

when i say
i miss you
it is not a coy goodbye
like a heart shaped period
at the end of my sentence
it is not something
i whisper out of habit
before hanging up the phone
when i say
i miss you
i mean that
your absence is palpable
and painful
i mean that
when you’re not
within arms reach
i can think of nothing else
but your touch
when i say
i miss you
i mean that
without you
my lungs find it hard to breathe
and my heart can’t keep a steady beat
when i say
i miss you
i also mean that
i want you
i need you
and
i love you

my desires
are simple
i just want you
to kiss my neck
and tease the skin
between my thighs
go ahead
run your fingers
over my soul
and claim it
as your own

when you look into my eyes
right before we kiss
something inside of me stirs
and like whiskey
the taste of you
lingers on my lips
long after we part
i seem to be living my days
intoxicated
but needing one more drink
because baby
you may taste like whiskey
but you do down like
honey

he fucked his way
into my poetry
but he kissed his way
into my heart
and with his sexy words
he got under my skin
and into my bones

you are every word
to the poem
that i can never forget
something about
salt rose and topaz
shadows and souls
you buzz around my brain
and consume
my every thought
because when i am loving you
nothing else exists
i seem to know
no other way

starting at my knee
you trace a
slow
deliberate
trail
up
my
leg
and stare into my eyes
i think you must enjoy
watching me struggle
to find my next breath
because your finger
is taking the scenic route
along the back of my thigh
making it impossible
to exhale (or inhale?)
my body seems to have forgotten
which one it was on
sensing my need
or maybe experiencing one of your own
you break our gaze
and pull my lips to yours
offering me the oxygen
that you are to me
and i hear you moan
an i love you
into my mouth
or maybe that was me
