Told myself I’d keep it easy, light

But here I am, catching feelings.

Undo.

Undo.

Undo.

Although a big part of me really wishes you’d feel the same.

But my wishing is in vain,

You don’t.

Musings//Skin

I know not which is more frenzied,

my mind, or the rain outside.

So I let myself go.

Hours pass by,

so much left to explore.

But only as much as you’ll allow me to show.

*****

The sinking is inevitable.

Sometimes I burn too bright for my own good.

I wouldn’t, 

if only someone’d teach me how much I should.

My eyes will tell you so much more than my mouth,

dig deeper, deeper still

Retract gently, with infinite kindness

After you’ve had for your fill.

*****

I like when we frolick,

Without a care,

So vulnerable and bare,

Stuck in time, hoping to stay there.

I like that you trace the contours of my body,

As I feel the stubble on your chin.

Feel my skin,

Never the pain within.
