A kiss
is but an innocent halt
to the rushing flow of darkest feelings
But if a kiss itself
is motivated by deceit
then the brief interruption
would in fact
mislead
Your eyes closed
you see with your hands
I as well hold this capability
and therefore
do not need to open my eyes
Your lashes flutter excitedly
hugging close to your soft skin
shielding your unaffected eyes
I smile at the thought of this
while my lashes too dance
in the unaffected fluttering of ignorance
I subsist on your exhalations
you breathe out steadily and slow
slowly you allow me to gain strength
I try to quickly fill my lungs with your air
greedily
You teach me that this is not okay.
You hold your breath.
I gasp.
Your words surround me
like music notes circling clouds
I spin dizzily backward
and fall
crash.
I frown, upsetedly
but soon accept it as a melted smile
at the thought of you
lifting me up
dusting me off
letting me breathe
The silver lining to my clouds.
A quick sunbeam
breaks through my fogged dizzy haze
and reveals
I watch speechlessly
as you hold her close
and her lashes dance
in the unaffected fluttering of ignorance
Your lashes too dance
faster
faster
until they snap open
suddenly
