Strawberry Sunsets & Her

Coffee Cake

You're sweetness which

Combats the bitter undertones

Swirling in my cup and

Swishing between my ribs.

My dear, I want to consume you,

And even I have no idea

In what way I mean it.

Maybe I want to roll up

The eccentric thoughts

Filling your mind and

Get high off of their smoke.

Perhaps I want to lick

The words from off

Of your tongue to

Better process your

Understanding of them.

Maybe I want to hold

Your heart in my hands.

Get as close to it as I can,

Study every movement

And cling to every whisper,

Until I feel properly close to you.

Maybe this desire to consume

You is actually the desire

To properly touch something.

You see, I don't want to touch

Your waist, hips or anything so simple.

I want to feel you.

That proverbial being which

Exists somewhere behind your eyes.

I want to unwrap all of the layers

That build you and know the

Path you've walked along.

It's criminal my love,

Just how much closer I

Wish to be with you.
