This time together tumbles like hourglass-sand. Worn sun disappears between trees, takes with it our colour- so I undress you in the monochrome of secrets. Shadows feel hot beneath my hand, and slip from sweet to salt- Taste delicious as I trace your rising-tide scent with greedy kisses. I encourage wave after wave until you glisten on my tongue, on my lips, on my skin. Spent, we find peace. Tangled together- we whisper tiny prayers to an unreality of sky. Try to stave off our ever-after.
