you're my muse.

11/18/2009

your hair curls between my fingers

and springs back as i let go

and your neck is smoothly glided

down by my finger tips

your face is so close to mine

that my eyes cross slightly

to bring it into focus

what a beautiful thing to focus.

your lips are soft from kissing mine

i keep them so soft for you

the winds and rain chap me so

but i stay soft for what counts.

you taste sweet on your lips

and salty on your skin

and i find myself craving

your tastes through the day

for something so ongoing

you would expect some fading

but look in my eyes and kiss me

and my spine turns electric.

you're pulsing through me even now

as i know i should be in bed

but your cold room and warm body

that's where i feel at home.

i miss your wrists, and obscure things

found on you from top to bottom

i love when a smile breaks

across your face like dawn.

i don't care that you can't sing

i still love the way that you do

oh sweetheart, i'll listen to every note

you play all my chords.

and your curls wrap around my fingers

as i slide my hands back to your neck

kiss me once more, my love,

it's poetry every time.

it's so incredible to feel your skin

you're so amazing sometimes i forget you're human

you're so strong sometimes i forget you're vulnerable

you're so rarely vulnerable

and when i feel your arms and i breathe your skin

and your heart is beating right into me

i feel this you almost for the first time

i will never stop trying to protect you

i will wrap you into me and soothe your hurt

this feeling you give me when you're beside me

it's something i never could lose

you're something i will hold so dear

and never be without.

you've saved me from so much

i will do all i can to never let you down.

so breathe in deep so i feel you again

you're so incredible sometimes i forget you're human.
