(my) tongue in (your) cheek

Lick the words

from my lips

let them slide down

your throat

like fruited jewels,

dark, hard candies

that melt into cream

a healing liquid

oozing into my

ventricles,

pumping milky beats

out through

your cells

permeating the deep

of my wild

My syllables will

wrap themselves

around your syntax

frothy hybrids

of buttered silk

and irony

heart-to-heart

conversations that

flow into the ether,

as heaven's night

endlessly begins

We twirl our tongues

into guttural utterings,

lustful verse

that glides from

slick-fervored ice

to an outpour

of lava

We feed each other

dreams

our saliva like honey

dripping with dawn's

tender glow

as we open up

like baby birds,

begging to be nourished

at all costs

Here,

in this lingual forest

Your breath finds a home

on my tastebuds,

my tongue

in your

cheek

In between the tumults

of our

exploding oceans

This

is how we

love
