HEATWAVE

HEATWAVE

side by side

in your kitchen

in your bed

i could stay like this forever

your hands hot against my skin

a heat felt right down to my soul

and she melts so easily

under the warmth of your regard

in the darkness of the night

fingers blaze against naked skin

and i still feel the lingering ghost

of your lips against my own

a kiss to keep me warm

until the next heatwave comes.

WORSHIP

i look up to her in awe

my everything

the devotion i have for her spills forth like a tidal wave

sweeping away my sight

my hearing

everything around us washed away to blackness

every one of my senses reduced to only her

she is the only thing that ties me to this earth

i want to worship her altar on my knees

for there's nothing i believe in

the way i believe in her

A FALL FROM GRACE

if she is to be my most abominable sin

i welcome my retribution with a warm embrace

i would gladly die a thousand deaths

by flame or sword

just for her to have my heart

and hold hers in return

our love burns brighter than a falling star

and fall we do

wings aflame

our descent splitting the sky in two like a gaping open wound

her laughter ringing through the air

as clear and bright as the oncoming dawn

NOBODY

although i may have had lovers in the past

their beauty seems to fade as time goes by

time well spent

with you beside me

and i'm convinced i've never been loved by someone like you

nobody who could even comes close.

ON MY KNEES

love can make you weak

the pathetic fragility of our human hearts stripped down and on display

but i long to bare my soul to yours

so here i am on my knees

begging for you to stay another minute

and yet i treasure the precious feeling of vulnerability

there is an insurmountable strength in my weakness for you

even if the cold lonely nights seem endless

and as i lay still in the darkness my whole body yearns for your touch

your absence makes my heart grow infinitely fonder

with every passing day

they say love makes you fight harder for what you want

and all i ever wanted was you

-RGB

SOLACE

i seek solace in her arms

when the days have all come to an end

and the nights settle around us

so tired my body barely feels alive

but i don't close my eyes

not wanting to spend another moment

without her by my side

and when my head reaches its final resting place

nestled in the hollow of her throat

i know in my heart

that no grave can hold my body down

i'll always crawl home to her
