lava

it's in the waiting. the passing of time, the moments when i breath in air, scented of you. when i stand in ground, imprinted with your feet, the marks of your toes a bit deeper in the wet.

i can stare for hours, at a place your body has touched, looking for the outline of a thigh, an arm, anything. seconds of you in the fabric. the nights chase after you, and my morning calls for you when you are not there.

our mouth can enclose each other at times, breathing in each others air. just for laughs. to see if we could breath underwater, if it was just you and I. were we to swim in the seasalt and sand, our bodies naked as light. our eyes open to the brilliant blue, absorbant with crystalline shots of color.

now my body sleeps, in fitfull slumber, with my skin reading the braille of your thoughts. were you not miles away, but here under my skin, in my skin, of my skin. were that my body could exist seperate of you, that life would be easy. knowing you, and the love that you are, has made me addicted. a lava flow, searing flesh and memory of past.
