Stay.
Stay
Just a bit longer, stay
I want to kiss you once more
The night as a witness to our desire
Hush,
Close your eyes,
Can you feel me?
Like I did just hours ago
In the silence of the darkness
Your breath as my beacon
I caress you with my fingertips
Stay
Just a bit longer
Make love to me once more
Brushing wavy tendrils away
Your stubble grazes my chin
A passion on a sway
Yet again
Your lips cradled in mine
In the crescendo of our heartbeats
Your voice as my refuge
I echo you with my eyes
Stay
Just a bit longer, stay
I want to kiss you once more
The night’s growing old
Dawn’s stealing quietly through
My spine feels a cold
Hold on, don’t let go
In the warmth of this raging amour
My dream as my anchor
I shut my eyes tight
As you must know
I wake with the dawn,
Poof!
There you go.
Stay
Just a bit longer
Make love to me once more

you could tell by the way she looked.
her eyes
they have a purpose
searing and angled
Tiger eyes.
a prey
quiet and unassuming
soft and loving
to devour
Wide toothy grin
claws sharp
throbbing jaw
shallow breaths
an attack
Target overshot
retrace
recoup
cower beneath a mask
her eyes
they have no purpose
wretched and glassy
single.
standing alone
you could tell by the way she stood.
Lonely eyes.
