i’m put to sleep by your aggravation

awoken by your sighs

greeted with a stream of tears

they melt the corners of your eyes

your fragility is a revolution

and that warm, heavy breath such a dream

it distills my concentration

and confuses my reality

i had no idea

our bodies would fit together

so uniformly

i never suspected

our arms entangled

would create such a 

sweet abstract sight

holding eachother

kissing

soft, gentle

tender

adoring

ginger, ginger, GINGER

working

being slow

lazy

doing nothing

figuring it out

O Paon - Certitude (D+)

a capsule of water
a space; safe, warm, wet
within the dark

a little window open above me
soft blue light in sharp rays
enveloping my body
mapping my curves
reflecting off the water
i shimmer

i observe how my skin looks like opals
my wet hair looks like onyx
my breasts like blossoms

i still don’t understand
why everything i see
is an object of shame, grief, and ridicule

it looks so beautiful to me in this moment

today as i stood beside you
i felt tension in my body
i wanted to touch you for the first time ever
just a gentle touch
just my hands upon your waist

and i wondered as i stood there
does your body want my hands too?
would they sit comfortably above your hips…
then i wondered about the taste of your lips
