Far apart, seconds split where no space prevails, a heart beats quite harder after a trace of fingers, gasping for eacapes your feet will never give. Feel your chest rise high and then fall down below, pressures of your bosoms pushing against my chest, we recycle the summer air warm deep from our lungs. I melt into your weak gaze, sinking to the bottoms of oceans hidden beneath your blue eyes, before the bed gets colder we disappear far beyond the safety of a closed door. Under the cotton white over the placid sheets, we shudder off cuddles solve the riddles unsolved, as hosts lost into each other in the moment we burn. november (wordsworth) *whispers of love* ©2023
