Maida…

My Maida…

Those honeysuckle eyes and that raspberry grin

Good and strong hands with good and strong fingers

My heart bruised my ribs when I saw you first

And as our night bid us adieu

And broken light licked our cheeks

I came unto you

As you had come unto me.

For now and for ever,

Your secret love.

hand on the divine
your curves, like italian marble
body as a work of art

not just a woman but a goddess
and i'm down on my knees

watermelon lingering on your tongue
i lap it up in waves

on the night i touched you everywhere
i cried on the drive back home
thanking god that i'm not broken after all

you listen to fleetwood's "everywhere"
when you think of falling in love
i listen to it too and imagine you

there are pieces of you everywhere
in my bed, my shower, my soul
reminders of our love forever there

when you left me, i hurt everywhere
an ache i had never known
there is before you but no after you

i still want to be with you,
everywhere.

Sometimes
I want you
To leave me
Sweet nothings
In the pockets of my cardigan
