Bac(K)

The warm wind of your breath
swarms the top of my head
My hair wrapped in your
fingertips, grasping softly
The smell of your welcoming envy
My knees are going weak
to the sound of your chest
The sun is shining down upon us
If we could only hold onto
this moment forever...

Butterflies are forming
My skin is cold and rising
A paradise island with the
warm sun so inviting to
the comfort of your own home
The truth tastes so good
Your lips melting in my mouth
Thinking in my mind...
Persuasive words

A voice that trembles
in the back of my mind
Holding onto the railing
Jumping from the bridge
A cool current of silk covering my body
My eyes stinging, full of wet
The shore, warm to my feet
A cool breeze trailing through me
A piece of paradise...

And could you believe,
this is how you make me feel?
