her element

Bereket Yonas 2000 (Addis Ababa)

Ode


I saw you in your wholeness, wearing nothing but your love for me. You saw me with eyes full of love and lust, but which is it more darling? Is it the desire to keep me forever or is it the desire to have me for a day. Darling be the moon and shine your light on me and let me study your layers, the layers that never touch unless I lay my hands on them, your layer that makes me feel as though I'm the only one that have touched it that way.
