my
oh
my
i can barely breathe
except to whisper
"baby"
with a heated urgency
and i'm losing myself just a little bit more
every time this happens
like falling
but instead of embracing emptiness
i wrap tighter around you
and the landing
pillow soft
like those lips of yours
tracing poetic silences across my flesh
each unspoken word hides behind gasps
guttural sounds masking operettas
and you're tattooing my soul
my
oh
my
can we stay like this forever?
joined together
flesh and bone
but soul and spirit are racing to catch up
and i think if you're there to guide me
i can handle it better
maybe i'm not losing myself at all
only gaining you in doses
meted out a bit at a time
to cure my ills
my
oh
my
the time has come again to stop thinking
and simply to feel
you
and i
becoming we once more
you feel like possession
and taste like need
and i'm turning inside out
spiraling into this delicious heady frenzy
holding you closer
becoming so aware of you
and when it's all over
i can simply do nothing
feeling our sweat mingle and rivulet
over my ribcage
the only thought i have

"my. oh my"
