I really just want
To bury myself
In the warmth
of your body,
And hold you
Like my most
holy of desires.

My favorite music
Is the way your body sings
Caressing the strings
Of our echoing desires
Passing secrets
With the collision of skin
And for a time
The clock stands still
And this world falls silent

My memories of youth sound of the ocean
The afternoons when kingdoms grew from sand
That young heart of mine raced with dreams
My shoulders kissed by the sun
The smell of sunscreen and boardwalk grease,
The shore was a garden, umbrellas bloomed by noon,
There was a girl with eyes of coral,
The sounds of storms rolling in,
Running home as lightning bit at my heels,
Arm and arm with that same girl with coral eyes,
And that young heart of mine raced with dreams,
Today I still look upon those months and that blazing heat,
Remembering those days like peeling skin after a burn,
I still long for the sounds of the ocean and the sand beneath my feet

I hold you close
I love you tender
My heart is a fragile bird
These wings break
from time to time
The tide pulls me out to sea
And my eyes pour oceans
Every time you love another
