Skin

Right below where you hair ends is mine

telling me it needs a kiss

at the most inopportune times

Time can’t control the force of your body

pulling me towards you

I breathe through your hair

Smell the sweetness of your body

Removing the serious look from your brow

Lips barring an inhibited smile

Your little hands extend

heels shuffle

A millisecond slices

concentration

so sharply

focus fails

Words flash behind blinking eyelids

burning to describe the shapes you sculpt

I cast butterfly nets to capture words

My humble gifts to you

anything to let my lips return to your neck
