Hours taken by sea
butter sunshine gone
to a chalky lavender smudge
our feet made prints
in piles of freckles
skin tickled by heat
are you in my head
pirouetting
between dreams
or real as diamonds
(so you’d know
about kisses)
you filled hollowness
with petals
cups of lust
played
my fragile xylophone
like an expert
swapped it
for a piano
made it sing
you’re the pearl
on my palm
in a thunderstorm
my sweet speck
of dark magic
at sunrise
I pull away
for you to tug me
right back in again
