When I said your name,
leaned in to kiss you
At the touch of our lips
an O grew on your mouth,
rippled out over your face
So i saw you through tropical waters
for a floating moment
Until you turn to me,
and we're in the fishbowl together
Sharing air
Candles lit beside my broken lamp,
your face as I imagined
grinning joyfully down at me
Hair released to curtain
your beautiful face and freckled shoulders
So much laughter strung throughout,
and all your battlements fallen
To my soft skin
