13. DELICATELY BEAUTIFUL
I taste the air. I'm feeling lucky.
My lonely hands are met by yours.
I need my actions to motivate me
so I can learn to shrug the hurt.
Your hair is twirled by your fingertips.
This is something I can't miss.
Our words entangled on this evening
leading to compassion's kiss.

How can I forget your eyes ablaze with laughter?
Would I admit your smile has made me flattered?
Take my hand and hold it close,
in case time's sands decide to boast.
I know my dreams were meant to aide me
in memories of lonely's ghost.

I hold you closer. I'm feeling nervous.
Intensity's all I can see.
I lean in to give you a whisper,
but it's odd how I can't speak.
I kiss your neck to let you know
I won't be here after tomorrow.
Our promises unraveling quickly;
our options tantalizing but empty.

Falling deeper into each other's arms,
this moment is so amazingly true.
Your clothing is strewn in my room,
but it's nothing I will argue.
Your waist is so delicately beautiful.
Our compromise is seemingly incredible.
I can't think. I can't breathe.
It doesn't matter because you're with me.
