Soft whispers of sweet promises
Lights out
Night on
Day gone
Kissing tender words onto milky sweet skin
No hold backs
No take backs
Just you and I.
We both know where to go
You paint gentle symphonies on your canvas
My skin.
Tasting tears
Hiding fears
A lapse in time for
you and I.
Little sighs
Gentle cries
Tossing and turning like sodapop waves.
Kissing and caressing
Holding close with syrup blessings.
You are me
I am you
We are us.
Just you and I.
Saccharine stars in a midnight, sugar-coated, cotton candy sky.
Two candy hearts
in the beautiful dark.

For C.C.
My candy heart.
