You told me
You loved me
Like it had passed through your lips
Ten thousand times
(Like you tell your mom,
Halfway out the door)
Now I cannot stop thinking
About how good those words sounded --
How my heart tore out of me
And followed you down the street.

Your kiss draws me deeper
Into parts of you.
And me.
And us.
How wondrous it is
To be like spring -
Feel lightness between our fingertips,
Interlaced like roots pulled firmly
Into ground.

I thought we would be
Light green tendrils
Stretching up from blades of grass
But we are the tree limb
And once cut,
We will not grow again

You, still written upon my heart,
Running rampant throughout this body
I cannot lay still enough to sleep.
And each time I turn,
I can feel you forgetting
how my hand feels
in yours.

I hold both
Ying and Yang
In my heart.
How confusing to be whole.

My body is a battle ground of
Half and half
and whole.
If what should be is here,
where am I now?

Breath sinks deep
Into this morning breeze.
I am devouring sunlight,
Bring butterflies into
This stomach.
Keep me here
And love me.

I am overshadowed
By my desire.
I look up to it.
Its longings
Dwarf my abilities.

I want to pour into you
Melt to softness,
Like butter turning oil.

You are uncontainable -
you burst into innumerable pieces.
Each fingernail, toe, smile
Sizzles upon the pavement.
