Giving my word that this time I will change Promise kept for once indeed is something strange Read lips when I say to you "Help me stay strong" Painting your flaws red will always feel wrong The way to reach goals is to grow to rely On each other til the storm passes us by It's learning to trust without question or concern In rain until this painful period is adjurned Waiting for strength to flood limbs Clear each cloud away that dims To dance on fingertips so near Keep looking but it never reappears

My Word
I brush your spine with my fingertips I kiss the lines that lead to your treasure chest I rest in the enigma, I rest in your charisma Waiting to explore your oceans Can't resist you, your gaze has me frozen frozen in the moment, velvet kisses on your mind like a poet lean into it, lean into the moment

PORTRAIT IN SEPIA
Imagine, I'm laying in your bed. Beneath your covers. On your pillow. In your arms. Imagine, you press your thumb to my lower lip, and you can hear my heart beating like a hammer. You remake my ribcage with your fingertips, and you teach me a new language with your mouth. You touch me with intention. Imagine, I let you. I uncurl. Moonlight filters in through the window and pours over us. That silky-white illumination is reflected in your eyes and it touches you so softly, I could scream. And the exquisite truth of it all is, that if you ever did get to touch me, I think I would die.

the oppressive sun bludgeons away weakness melts off my fingertips a gleaming android ruby red and autumn gold - a human unfolds

Disappearing isn't easy. It takes time and effort To stay away from everything That you think helps Because you're always itching to get back, And it's always an inch away From your fingertips Because all you'd have to do is click a button, And you're addicted. Again.

Addiction
I used to conjure flames from my fingertips without a thought And used them to scorch foreign poetry into your skin

Scorched, a start.
If you ever ask me how I really feel about you, Iโ€™ll sayย thatย  evenย though weโ€™re hundreds miles apart I can still feel your fingertips wander through the lining of my skin and the warmth of your lips follow in cadence Iโ€™ll say thatย  I fall asleep thinking about you and wake with you being my first thought Thatโ€™s how I feel, I feel you all the time, all over.

How I Feel
I run my fingers slowly over the lips of another; just to see. But those lips donโ€™t brush as tenderly against my tips as yours did, my original lover.

Original Lover
I think I have begun to reach it, the edge of the world. whether it is flat or round everything must come to an end so I have begun to reach it, the edge of the world of this world of your world of my world. I'm **** near the end im so close I can caress the stars with my fingertips. up here the oceans have taken the size of a mere moon. and I think what world must lie beyond but I how ready I am to leave his one, or if there even is a world regardless I have reached the edge of my world and I could not be more ready to jump.

edge of the world
It was in the warmth of her body where I found ecstasy my fingertips laced in the spaces between hers our thumbs painting each other's palms in subtlety her head rests on my arm my head rests on hers in the midst of each other's surrender and yet somehow, even ecstasies end in sober

Home
I sit on the sharp edge of the present Fine line separating future and past My legs dangling into the past Preventing me from living the current moment Dwelling on wrong choices made Words I did not mean to say Friends and family I lost Each lonely thought grips me and drags me further into the canyon of memory I am barely holding onto this cliff with my fingertips How do I pull myself back up?

sour serein
Your fingertips planted trees on me. You left a forrest full of life. But with no rain there was no healthy leafs. So the forrest crumbled. And I cut the tress down for I did not wish to have a memory of you on my body. Yet, roots of the forrest remained deep beneath my skin. And I will now forever, if I wish or not, have memories of your fingerprints.

I question wether heaven has gates and if the Devil is their master. If his fingertips has the power to leave me out of paradise. If he will turn me down for what my mind has made me do. Is there a reason they tell me to **** you Was there a reason for this madness, this chaos in my head. I think there is but will the Devil let me in?

Controlled By The Dark
Is it love or is it just him? Is it his galaxy-blue eyes, or his sweet rose-colored lips? Is it his soft pale skin, or is it maybe his warm fingertips? Could it be his vibrant laugh, or was it when he held my hand? Is it maybe the way he loves to stare, or could it just be the small talk we shared? Maybe it's love. Maybe it's really just him.

Beauty is braille written in the fingertips. Never reading a word upon you, ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย as my palms were pages. And you were every word on them.

Beauty Is Braille
I'll whisper my secrets to the stars and pray you are far, far away, because my darkest desires, and wildest dreams were not meant for you, my dear. They were meant for the boy with the tree at his spine and all of my fantasies on his fingertips.

Fingertips
Stained ink to bring wanting. With concave, lights twisting notes. Fingertips in unreal closet. Lights with mildew out nothing. Pure broken tapping closets to ink fingertips.

can i turn back time and start again drown me in holy water cleansing me from the inside out let the ashes of my form float like morbid confetti over me opening my mouth to catch the part of me that i once held dear my blackened fingertips reaching for the universe hoping one day i can be a part of that ageless space drifting in a place i call home the neon hands of fate just an inch away but the gravity of my situation pulls me deeper in the sea of my consiousness
