is this desire?

[sleepnwghosts]

i turn off the lights
open the blinds
let the city lights reveal
our fearful symmetry
underneath, you’re just like me
surprising and needy with grabbing hands
and speaking riddles with a twisted tongue
too guarded to voice your wants
i thought that I was strong
but i was too weak
to bear to see
in your eyes
the reflection of my own
so instead, i take the easy path
i focus on your mouth
on my mine
our clothes
on my floor
put our hands places that angels
and parents
and friends
would all blush to see
put my mouth a place it need not be
you are heavy on my tongue
lick broad stripes
up and down
flesh
bite
sensitize
desensitize
is that all right, baby?
the new, chemical-alien taste
of you
on my fingertips
ghosts along my lips
is this a kiss from a rose?
flush wordlessly in the dark
promise of discretion and a maybe one night again dotdotdot
you promise you’ll keep singing
subtle songs
for me
i’ll drink them down with my
greedy ears
gorge my brain on your words
and come back for more
and i’ll write my own words fofr you
until return you do
and we show each other
the hows
and the whys
of what our two bodies are for
