Without Borders

I ache to trace the scars you've hid so well beneath your skin

To feast on the nightmares that plague your sleep

Let my hunger satiate deprivation

So that you may get an honest nights rest

and tell me all about the good dreams you had

I want to know all the curves to your body

and what makes them come alive

So that on days you're feeling dead

I can help bring you back to life

Let me entwine my fingers into the curled strands of your hair

And tangle them there for as long as you let me

Oh please let me do it for a long time

I want to know you without borders

Long

intimate

conversations

over coffee and books we have read

Books we want to read

Books that weren't worth reading

Books the other should read

And more coffee

Always more coffee so we can stay awake

For every moment that we share without borders

I want to sit with you in silence,

. . .

Look over and see you smiling with the pout of your lips

Like your dangerous

And I'm asking for it

I'll always be asking for it

Without borders I would lean across the world

Just to hear your laughter

And hold your hand in mine

If only to feel your touch

Just once

*Watch the sun saunter off into the horizon

And the stars begin to shine

As the moon lights up the sky

In a world without borders

I could be yours

And you could be mine*
