Softer Ways

Like sinews and sutures,

Our bodies interlock,

Separated only by our breath.

 

Softer skin would be a liquid,

and softer eyes would be transparent.

A softer smile would be a kiss,

experienced by sight.

 

An arm, a clutch, your fingers crossed,

with words I lie here as I lay.

And in our words are we so lost,

but "we" is how we'll find our way.

 

A forest waiting to be cleared,

Impending doom for innocence,

Our kisses and our thoughts appear

Already dying, in a sense.

 

But senses don't deceive themselves,

Like light which yonder breaks.

Morning brings me mild mourning:

It's you the daytime takes.

 

So stay in spirit, tangled one,

Or overstay your stay.

And no more mourning will be found,

If we have our way.
