Hot breath

Our lips brush

Soft flesh

Hot breath

A hurried whisper

In your ear

An escape window

I might bring to you

A moment joy

A period of pain

Complications

And confusion

There’s no happy ever after

Just a moment in our lives

[01 September 2019]

Keep us both safe

Your hands are soft
Your hands are cool
I feel my warmth
Moving over
To you

Your eyes are dark
Your eyes are shining
I feel my longing
Moving over
To you

Your pain is real
Your pain is present
I feel my heart
Moving over
To you

But my pain is there
Buried down below
I fear it erupting
Moving over
To you

My heart must withdraw
To keep us both safe
I must stop
Moving over
To you
