dried petals

・・

Summer clogged my veins,
when your eyes met mine.

You are the sun
that tattoos my bare skin with its kisses.

They burn like fire,

they make me feel alive.

The blood in my veins boils with passion,
your slender fingers paint each of freckles
with the colours of the sunrises,
and a hundred ones to come.

Our love like milk,
sweet like honey.

Your eyes permeate my soul,
navy blue like deep sea
with a touch of green lime.

Sometimes i wonder
if that's the sour taste of loving.

Your soft skin buried between my bed sheets
already scanted like Camellias;
flowers I'd carry with me while the sunset breeze
dances around us and the sun says 'goodbye'.

but I've got your sweet smile here
sunshine locked between your teeth.

i don't need any other sun, but you.

〔・Camellias・〕
''My destiny is in your hands.''
