heavensick lover with heart so tender,
let me break you open right down the middle of your chest cavity,
make you drip honey and gold and love so sweet venus averts her eyes,

a scandal known in heaven,
and body of celestial love walking on the streets of venice,
dining on one another in the sweetest, softest way,
 

i want to taste you,
but not before you beg,

sundrop kisses leave you hot, sticky,
good enough to swallow whole like fruit much too ripe,
and fermenting in the sunlight,
i get drunk off you in all the most sinful ways possible,

sweet sweet juices slipping down my jaw line,
halo gone more crooked than my smile,
didn't you know, darling?

i want you more than you ever wanted wings,

won't you let me clip them for a night?
