Say my name and every color illuminates.
Your voice is the liquid lullaby that pulled me from my sleep.
Keeping time with the cadence of your breaths,
I reflected mirror images back at you.
Palm to palm,
I traced the sound of laughter
across the ridges of your hand.
The quiet sighs and unspoken syllables.
I would write them all down if I only knew how.
Thousands of words and I couldn’t seem to command them.
You whisper
through quivering fingertips and lavender caresses.
I’ve been scrawling your poetry.
I’ve seen it in the lightning. I’ve seen it in you.
I feel guilty reading this because I feel like I'm lingering too long in the window of lovers awakened. Lovely piece.
