a body paragraph

when the wrinkles stretching like dusty roads across your achilles tendons

turn into the red and green highways tangling themselves across a map

and when the valley of your lower back accepts my kisses like low-hanging clouds

over fields of tall yellow grass

when your shoulder blades reach up towards me

like lightning rubbing the clouds in the darkness of the morning;

your eyes like a tempest,

always foggy blue with waves overflowing out of the corners

when they just can't take the cold icy winds or boundaries of the shore;

when i see your lovely eyes when looking at dusty roads and maps and valleys and grass and clouds and oceans,

that's when i give my entire world to you.
