We linger

in quietness

Besotted

by visions of love

and deepest passion

My serrated breath

held within parched lungs

arid and aching

Lost to time

and the savored fear

of an unknown tomorrow

that would

take back my sight

to devour my darkness

with fierce determination

An intoxicating blend

of promise

and fervorous intention

Lips and limbs

Entangled

Enraptured

Enveloped

within whispered desires

and fevered touches

Igniting

My soul

in frenzied

awakening

You

A reverence craved

A revenant devotion

Emerging

From the shadows

I balance

on the precipice

of a new future

We bare ourselves

a little more

Gently peeling back

another layer

A lone soul

touches a lone soul

Thoughts caress

and this unnamed

thing grows

Until it is larger

than the sum of us

it feeds off past lives

It hungers for the next

We expand each other

Ready to dive

headfirst into

our forever
