Act 1: Under shade.

Before leaving you too soon,
Only a moment,
Sit with me, close,
To tell you how much,
I love you inside.
To watch the quietest day,
Seen in its vibrancy,
Silhouetted by the scent of,
Your cologne baking in the sun,
Under shade.
I will kiss your warmth goodbye, but,
Stay in love,
Inside.
Remember me, though,
I am far away,
You are with me inside,
Cocooned in my heart, a moment,
Your lips are mine,
Under shade.

Act 2: Old-fashioned.

Following the line of your footsteps, your musk scent trails close behind you. Your fingers covering my fingertips, we fitting in this space empty and to ourselves.

In a quiet corner you order an Old-fashioned, just like in those old black & whites.

“I love you,” you always remind me.

City kitty.

Indigo glows.

Indigo glows in the summer,
When,
Sky,
Falls,
To touch,
I,
Anticipate,
You.

I walk in the open air towards you, only light surrounding the iridescent. An Ambanja panther chameleon, you. Blending in city ports, lights and all sapphire shades of night. I don’t want you.

I,
Grip,
To,
You.

Tangerine sublime.

Tangerine tides,
I lie down,
Surrounded by.

Morning within the quiet of a wave and its crash. You in the room a stroll back, sleeping, beautifully. Rest, my Prince. Last night before orange rose, you decide to get me drunk on strawberry wine, licking whip cream off key lime pie with me held down by the weight of yourself. Those arms… those eyes.

Your smile in the summer.

You hold my left hand across the pink weeds, I run my right hand through each one in the breeze, the grass brushing across my knees. In all of the vast I see, you are too much for me.

I follow you anyway through each season to see your smile in the summer. Before the sunlight blinds me and you leave for the South. Following you, you look back at me, leading me between greens, yellow and brown plateaus, where the blues meet. Your fingers wrap gently around my wrist, your palm holding my palm and fingers in place. Your musk drifting, I breathe you in with air touching our bare limbs.
