Longing

perfection is the simple

thought that i will be able

to brush my

fingers up your spine lightly,

like a kiss from a flutter of a

butterfly wing;

perfection is the beat of a heartbeat that

i have yet to memorize which 

one day will turn into my lullaby;

perfection is knowing 

not now but one day i will 

have no ache in my chest, 

longing to touch the one

i love at this twilight hour
