Counterpart

A love poem :)

Rosy cheeks rest underneath my arms,

Eyes brighter then stars lighting the dim streets

Of which my feet once paced, pale with angst

Until my heart experienced the taste of your lips

And send me sailing more wildly then ships

Drifting underneath the moon.

My memories rest in afternoons spent dancing in your scent,

In the bed of your body, the sea of your soul,

The flow of your form, curved and warm.

When you smile I’m born into a dream,

A place where birds sing and I have wings

That will always carry me out of the dusk

To the day of your face,

Where I can trace your fair features

As our fingers kiss, interlaced,

Space between us like a stranger,

Shadows synthesized, like the sun shinning in the sky.
