Dec 2018
There’s moonlight in your touch and stars in your eyes
Hunger on your lips
You make me dizzy every time your gaze meets mine
Dreamlike and beyond my reach
A boy who outshines the sun
Whose potential stretches across the land
And delves into the deepest blues of the sea
When I look at you, I see wildflowers
Poppies that shift into sand dunes
Because the more you give of yourself, the more you become
Waves crashing onto the shore and leaves shaking in the wind
Brushing together with birdsong
You’re 4:30 in the afternoon on a hot and hazy August day
And I’m captivated, falling, falling, falling
The stars in the sky are reflected in your eyes
I’m helpless to look away
You’re burning through my like whiskey on a fire
I reach for you still, desperate for a taste
Emily
