YOU-INEVITABLY

I opened my arms wide 
in my mind’s eye 
and felt you 
pour into my embrace 
Filling all my crevices 
with the warmth 
of that gorgeous smile

on your face 
Tender, igniting caresses 
of your silk breath 
vie for my attention 
with the rasp of your chin 
Sheltered in your strength 
I smile 
at the million or so butterflies 
fluttering within 

Rumpled souls

Lost in tangled stars

Where mine end

And yours begin

You’re the radiant moon

That lives

Euphorically

Below the lining of my skin
