With each breath

with each breath
I'll;
 look towards
horizons displayed
in the sky, hands
raised like a
supplicant begging
the almighty
for thousand wishes
summarized into
whispery sizzles
-- your gaze
all I need

set bonfires up
in arabian deserts
fan up embers
with a wrap of
affection
let stray rebelling
kisses out of
my restless lips
watch them wandering
down your skin--
already rubbed with
desire
and feverish from longing

spell out unwilling
letters of love
clung tightly on
the left side
of my throat
in shaky hoarse
voice
till I no longer
feel my
voice box
and lead you
to the altar
when I've
lost my way home
