oh

"Touch me so that I can be myself"
I'm begging for the longest of your kisses
and your tarnished smile only pointing toward my eager
eagle eyes
because
I can neither live with you nor exist without you.

let me be materialized for another
moment
until the sunshine on your mantle piece
has begun to turn
to the moon
and you tell me that I had better
go.

I really only like the way I feel myself
under your skin and your smile
