"breathin" poems - Hello Poetry

Last night I dreamt You called me "gorgeous," "Gorgeous?" I said, "that's not my name," I said, As my cherry red tongue dropped my lollipop Straight on the ground, ***** red sugar slivers gorging on my Blood vessels pumping into my heart - A big metal spoon banging on a cast iron skillet. Skillful, you are with your Cinnamon heart smile Burning my taste buds and Hugging my curves with every - Gorgeous. I dreamt of you Running your finger like a wet paintbrush on my Obscenely white canvas Soaking up my stereotypically common insecurities and Gently placing them in your pocket, "I'll take those, gorgeous," And then you color me with purples and reds, Red, Like Red Delicious waiting For the bite, like my neck, Waits for your teeth, maybe I'll just wake up and keep dreaming, To see you, Fiddling with a razor in one pocket, A cloudy crystal in the other, Mediating the argument of Who gets to protect you - Who gets to lick the salt from your cheeks After backyard creeks race to your lips The space between our tongues so small, Yet it weighs on me like A sixteen hour car trip with your baby cousin, Torture. Like blue eyes shaded by glasses, Hiding behind fallen heads. I woke up just to remember That your eyes are the only shapes I draw in the dark. Begging for sleep to bring me back To watch you stare at the dirt snuggled into your Weather cracked boots Your fingers tugging at the chain that rests on your chest, Keeping my attention, On the heavy black coat I'll be wearing 'til Summer, an extra layer of skin, Keeping me from gorgeous, Let me drop it like an old tissue in the cold, Let me lose it like I've been sick for weeks on you And I'm shedding my skin like it's time to start new, There you go, Wearing your silence like a tuxedo, **** - always **** And you're breathin' fractions of facts in my ear, Seducing it's drum like a late night jazz club and It's your first time on stage, Gorgeous. Let my stomach politely introduce itself to my throat, Pleading with my temple to hold on to that bead of sweat that Reluctantly drips down, Gorgeous. Down, Like the tips of your lashes meeting my bellybutton, Wet lips tracing my skin with "gorgeous," In your black coffee voice, Gorgeous.
