Analysis of something you'd love
I want to write something you’d love me for,
something I could whisper in our secret places.
I want to be why you would read some more,
be what’s spoken when your mouth tastes us.
I need to soak myself in your unbroken shore.
In, around me, out your liquid laces.
I need to drink inside our deep desire’s core,
leaving waves of my unsubtle traces.
I am the woman calmed by your devoted storm,
reaching out for why the wind races.
I am the rip at where your night is torn
and yet the kiss of our connected spaces.
