Soft lights
horizontal eyes set to stare
at your ceiling, our twilit sky.

Soft lips
the caressing motion of your fingertips
glide slowly across my skin like a sailing ship.

Stormy nights
raindrops fiercely clash against the glass
flowing down the pane of your open walls.

Emotions amplified by touch
can you still hear my beating heart,
or are you overcome with lust?

As I lie beside you
listening to all your half-breaths and muffled sighs.
I find myself lost in you.

If I am water,
are you the sunlight?
Could you keep me warm,
or would I just evaporate?

Searching for truth
concealed by your tender lies.
My heart shatters beneath your sheltered sky.

The moment of anticipation fades
as our heated passion dissipates.

Left alone,
standing in the cold
amidst the pure driven snow.

Paralyzing silence
constructs the dam
holding back thousands of unsalted tears.
