• Secrets whispered onto slips of paper
    Given to fire and turned to ash
    Burning butterflies, I surrender

  • I’m over being subtle
    You need to know that it’s you
    That it’s only you, beneath my skin
    Coursing through my veins like adrenaline
    It’s your sweat I want on my tongue
    Your fervent fevered whispers in the night
    Long twisting meandering conversations
    Laughter like a waterfall
    Fingers entwined
    Eyes reflecting the stars
    Seashores, mountain peaks
    Valleys and deltas and continental divides
    Sunrise and sunset
    Your downpour, your drought
    Nothing, everything
    It’s you, it’s only you
