Come Closer, Love. {poetry}
Come closer, love
Close enough that I can feel your light
Piercing rays, sparkling haze,
unmask my demons in the night
Come closer, love
Close enough that I can taste your fears
breathe your secrets into my trembling lips
kiss me with questions until the answer appears
Come closer, love
Close enough that I can trace your scars
Flaws from your past make you beautiful
Fingertips discovering constellations hidden within your stars
Come closer, love
Close enough that I can hold your pain
Pour your wounds into my shaking hands
Shower me with your miseries like summer rain
Come closer, love
Close enough that I can smell your skin
Intoxicated by the moment
Over
And over
And over, again
Come closer, love
Close enough that I can hear your thoughts
Swirling pandemonium wrapped in your brilliance
Reminding me of all the details I forgot
Come closer, love
Close enough that I can get lost in your eyes
Gazing toward the future without abandon
Looking far beyond any disguise
Come closer, love
Close enough that I can crash into the chaos that you crave
Trapped within the cluttered cages of your mind
Pulsing body and rattled thoughts begging me to misbehave
Come closer, love
Close enough that I can turn the page
The best chapter’s just beginning, now
The one where we both get saved
