Sunkissed skin lays over you like a veil/
Freckles like silver lining details gone/
Unnoticed by the author. Two green eyes/
Stare back at mine and say everything/
Without recognized language. Blue jeans/
White shirt; a simple pleasure in simple/
Wrapping. Pale lips whispering subtle things/
Secrets of “I love you” and “I need you”/
Thick hair tangled at the nape of your neck/
Strong hands learning the crevice of new land/
We brave the world alone, a heart without/
A home to call our own, on these cold nights/
