Here alongside a look
I have seen something in you
that list of wants,
as a lazy hand begs.
That one solitary touch,
sitting on the edge
My eyes are smothered
in the change of seasons
a new love sits close
asking for help
to please explain
or help define
the set of forbidden words.
The weight in meanings
she shares her thorn
and that one little piece
that makes her
unlike the onlookers.
The start of a favorite season
here up on us
this newness is a fire
a girl and her body
her cutting curves
telling stories
best whispered
from high atop
tiptoes.
A bath and a candle’s flame
have new meanings,
just as I make her laugh
ever so lightly
she is prettier than
the spirited love
she showers on me.
