admired

i gaze into your eyes and at once i am transfixed with you

your soft lips are strawberry and rosé and i cannot get enough of it

i run my hands down your warm body and plant my mouth on your skin

you smell of agarwood and roses and i taste moscato on your neck


you pull me closer and dig your nails into my back (!)

i sharply inhale to a rush of adrenaline and sigh out a flood of endorphins

you then call me 'princess' and i just melt into you—

i believe this is what a biochemist would call "love"

adored

the sun glints on clean, shining snow today,

over fifteen centimetres from just the night before,

and the shimmer draws my gaze and i glance down

i notice i am walking into your fresh footprints now


my heart beats through my ribcage as you stare at me

i try to ignore it but you draw me in and now i can't look away

i feel almost choked trying to fill the gaps with words but

your saccharine kiss politely shuts me up


in your room you pull me in by the hip, right up against you

i am yours for this one pure and unending moment in time

your amaretto breath on my neck and warm fingertips on my collarbone—

i am sure that you could persuade me to stay the night...
