I long for you 

Your loose curls

Your sympathetic sky eyes

Your strawberry colored face

Your soft, rose lips 

I daydream of you

Of your hands

Decorated with rings that collide with mine,

While we blend our bodies into one 

I fantasize about you 

As your name escapes past my teeth

Articulated in a soft whisper,

It feels new and pliable 

Like a comforting blanket,

Fresh from the dryer.

I wish I could have you

Through the rough waves of the ocean, 

And as the sun rises in great vibrance 

I want to know the ins and outs 

Of your brain. 

Of your body.

I want to know why your eye twitches 

I want to know why your hands fidget 

I want to know why your voice climbs Mount Everest

When someone mentions me. 

I spend my minutes 

Wondering of what we could become 

As dark as the midnight sky that highlights the stars 

Or loud and bright, 

Like yellow sunflower fields on a warm summer evening 

I bathe in the shadows of your presence,

Longing for you to soap yourself in me.
