my incandescent goddess

holding you like time was only a game
                                        & perhaps, we could win.
holding you with beautifully reckless abandon.

your sweet wordless whipser
[existing in
         the electricity between your skin & mine
         the tenderness of our touch
         the warmth of your eyes
                     ((flickering like fireflies
                        on a warm summer night))]
quiets the questions lingering in my mind

we stay entwined
together

this is my escape
i could stay with you for days
   exploring your heart
   caressing your soul
   tasting your gentle smile.

your fingers run through my hair
making my heart beat 210 miles per hour
         (or some dangerously fast speed)

you pull me out of my own head
& suddenly i see you again
      like i was seeing you for the first time.
& i wish on shooting stars & aeroplanes & at 11:11
     that you could see  y o u 
     through my eyes.

y o u : an incandescent goddess among ruins
your spirit: the bright yellow dandelion thriving in a dying field
your eyes: a mosaic of ocean hues dancing and glittering in the sunlight
your mouth: delicately forming the sweetest melodies that infuse even the muses with jealousy
your soul: Being in it's purest sense; I could study it for centuries and still only know the slightest shard of its substance, of its beauty, of its mystery, of its depth

all of this in the beautiful woman
        laying naked in my arms
all of this in every kiss
        brilliant & magnificent
all of this in you,
                   only you.
