PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you know why i'm here

red-wine from the bottle

the breadth of the sky

raining stars

and you know how long

it took

for me to win your hair

against my chest

i chased you over mountains

your legs swinging confident

that you'd leave me behind

or that you could forget

i followed you to beaches

where you lay eyes shut gently

closing out the intensity

of my gaze

i watched you in waterfalls

as liquid bathed you

and you chased frogs

through puddles

i held you in dance

the excuse of a melody

to brush your hands with mine

We lie here, breath barely lifting

eyes focused on the shimmer

of August skies

but I can feel the weight

of your confusion

and the warmth of your skin

on my own

what thoughts consume you

what obligations possess you

and can i take you away from them

so i must ask

lungs, tentative

because i need to know

what we could be

can i kiss you?
