Scarlet from afar
with periwinkled lot-lights nearby,
shirts off in the heated car
had coincided with the summery sky.
Inspired by each other,
as thought while I perspired with my oughta-be brother.
It seemed like a summer evening,
just with the autumnal tree-silhouettes;
two of my favorite seasons. My artistry was seeping.
We saw each other in ourselves and I had no regrets,
minor caresses along his arm-crease replaced the verge of sleeping.
Our heartbeats were almost as loud as playful navel-pokes and endearing embrace,
and little whines tickled us more than chilled goosebumps and invaded space.
I was tripping in my music; we were both weirdos.
I love you.
I thought of the music with the drape of his aura.
I love you.
Pale porcelain under the rain that didn't match his eyes.
I love you.
Frogs and solitude.
I love you.
Ourselves. We were being ourselves;
hello, me.
You're so like me.
It's not out of vanity, I swear.
Entranced as it was so elongated, and
I love you so much...
So very much.
