love as undressing skins, revealing softness as well as sharpness. the heart hopes to forget its mourning. the light was always there, unreachable, but now it warms up everything like the morning glow. the heart is yearning for a new religion, praying to be understood, not worshiped, not eaten to the marrow; yet your hands in mine are more soothing than any litany, your voice more sacred than an altar. kisses like running on knives, playing both the hunter and the hunted. the craving consumes and builds back. lips are brushing against places that have never known touch before – the back of the knees, the back of the head. places that shiver the most, the ones that will hold on to every trace of your mouth. touching as reading in braille, caressing every word. bodies are deciphered like languages, names sung as if in a choir. but a name is larger than a language. it's a muttered secret , an uncharted star. no matter the voice, there's never the same inflection to it. hearing my name in your mouth breathes new life into it. i'm recognized. i'm seen. a love so warm i would not think about how it would ruin me.

we blanketed our lungs and we drifted away, falling over slowly. i was euphoric with the euphoria. i wasn't even there, nothing was. time didn't exist and we were traveling across the universe's many planes of existence. the music had me drugged. it filled my brain with it's purple smoke, flowing against my skull, pounding softly on my ear drums and making me feel loose and able to move. the colored lights had turned into pretty little fairies dancing around me, fluttering their wings, cooling me off. i felt every molecule touch my body and my sweater was fuzzier than before. every inch of my body tingled with my movements, i could feel the magnetic energy in my hands, as every negative feeling left my body. nothing mattered, i was happy, i was free and content, and nothing could touch me. it was just what i needed. it was magic.
