Solvent

Your kiss lays behind my knee Like drying solvent. It evaporates into our air And puts my head floating like helium. You’ve touched me again in that spot The one that holds me in a full nelson not releasing me for hours, as if I would want to be released by you. We talk about the days to come As I search for a cool place on my pillow. I ache to hear your pitter patter and your little words that mix with the night. You are an illusion to me A puff of smoke from a magicians wand. I never new that this feeling existed, I had only read about such things. The new morning brings me breakfast Eggs bacon sausage salvation I look over to see you tossing your locks to see me through a thin veil of perfection. I rub your back, run a finger down your ribs And you smile like I deserve it. I want to crawl into those lips past your perfect ivory smile and slide into you forever. You pull yourself up from the warm mattress And I stare like a rocket is launching, and it is. You bend down and gather up your silk thong Start pulling your dress over your head. I grab you quicker than you can get in it Pull you down and press my lips against yours Warm strawberry glaze and angel food cake. you pull back look at me and smile, it’s all over for me.
