Our bodies connect like lincoln logs
Lips, palms, and legs fitting into the notches I carved for you
Never able to form words fast enough, I sip on cider and dream of flying
If I were able to, I would only inhale
Taking in all the things the world has to offer
You are Peter Pan
You keep my feet from staying planted on the ground
And when I want nothing more than to sleep, you take me swimming with mermaids
We sit cautiously on the ledge of euphoria
As if one wrong step and our hearts will drop to the pit of our stomach
Being digested by our fear of heart break and rejection
I paint your face on my palm
With your eyes heavy lidded and your mouth slightly open
You are the epitome of down trodden
Bob Dylan is your Jesus
Jack Kerouac your Salvation
You drum my heartbeat on the windowsill, as we contemplate the color yellow
You brush your thumb across my ankle, drape your arm over my insecurities
You carry love in your finger print, trust in your eyelashes
As dawn approaches, I find myself wrapped in the arms of a lost boy.
