Soulmating

Summer keeps us up late to bed
only when your hair webs my fingers

temptation a mere furrow of your brow.


You build words into flashlights

igniting my starving eyes

speaking volumes with a half smile.

I will bite you for every lie the mirror told you
keep your blonde strands up

my tongue melts salty at the nape.


Moving my hands from you leaves a momentary red glow

resounding proof of our chemistry

beneath a sun struggling to light us.


Lavender motions my nose south

followed by my eyes
that spread through
thin denim
smothering your subtleties.


Delicate hands complement your resolution

draped in camisole skin still as cream

waging satin vanilla war with my senses.


Softest lips imaginable

their sweetness the dinner bell in my soul
adhered to mine in perfect harmony.

Rest your infinite dreams on my shoulder

I will ease your existence

moving hand-in-hand toward combustion.
