you are a beautiful little thing
so intricate and soft boned
you are a tear
so precious and heavy
you jerk the wind
and fly by the stars
you don't see
what you are
but I do
and I have been wanting to tell you
I want to keep you
but will you let me?
you know how to breathe
how to flurry by in a blur
but you stay
in my eyes and in my touch
my fingers know you
my love knows you
but then, you are my love
and my love tastes like no other
you twinge my taste buds
you swell my life
you are a light presence
but lie so heavily
on my balloon heart and icy dreams
lend me some honey
brush it on my lips
let me know the sweetness
let me know the bitterness
kiss my fingers
smell my hair
I am life too
just like you
