Just One Night

I want to write beautiful words on your skin.

Tattoo them with ink mixed with berries and blood.

I want to whisper my love in sweet, gasping breaths.

The words will seep deep and etch forever my name.

I'll make a mark in your life,

You'll be forever divine,

Forever mine.

 

Let's get drunk off each other,

My breath reeking of wine,

Yours smoky and sweet.

I'll pull you along on a leash made of roses

Picked straight from the garden,

Thorns dripping with love, a deadly red poison

A sticky, crimson substance addictive and ****

I'll make a mark in your life,

You'll be forever divine,

Forever mine.

 

Close your eyes and count to ten,

Trust me not to take your life.

I'm learning a language known only to us,

Each gasp, breath, and jagged promise

Creating a rhythm of love lost to others.

I wish to place a finger on your lips

Trace your face and kiss your jaw.

Just like the blind learning to see,

I'm creating a map for a world just for me.

I'll make a mark in your life,

You'll be forever divine,

Forever mine.
