Linger
I want to leave my scent on you
I want to l i n g e r
on your senses
on your mind
in your heart
I want the shadows of me
taking residence in your being
shackled in corners of you
that you didn’t know were there
Untitled
I look over at him.
Serene face, lips, chest rising and falling with each breath.
To kiss him would be extraordinary.
It is now, in this immense quiet,
That it occurs to me that he knows me in a way that no one else ever has.
