We linger
in quietness
Besotted
by visions of love
and deepest passion
My serrated breath
held within parched lungs
arid and aching
Lost to time
and the savored fear
of an unknown tomorrow
that would
take back my sight
to devour my darkness
with fierce determination
An intoxicating blend
of promise
and fervorous intention
Lips and limbs
Entangled
Enraptured
Enveloped
within whispered desires
and fevered touches
Igniting
My soul
in frenzied
awakening
You
A reverence craved
A revenant devotion
Emerging
From the shadows
I balance
on the precipice
of a new future
We bare ourselves
a little more
Gently peeling back
another layer
A lone soul
touches a lone soul
Thoughts caress
and this unnamed
thing grows
Until it is larger
than the sum of us
it feeds off past lives
It hungers for the next
We expand each other
Ready to dive
headfirst into
our forever
