Emotional Independence

 
Between crisp linen crush and lip gloss smear
smudging your flesh where I left my burn
touch becomes discovery
illuminating skin my path
threading the fibers of soul
inches from glistening pinks

Finding more than art in abstract remains
your interests become mine
no emotional dependency
more a savoring
as the girl within
touches my core
long before
your lips and hands
caress my flesh

Standing amidst your nature
no eggshell path exists
actions and words conjoined
tattooed souls
merger complete

I slide beneath the moment
curling between the layers
where Our heart is
gentle intensity in the spaces
between catch of breath
push of time
and release of sigh

Deep of quiet
lips' tremble
shape of your mouth
sweetest flavor
intoxicating
fire

As starving sand that devours the sea
your heart beats against my thirsty skin
reconstructing angles
drowning in the depths of your blue
