Untitled Romance

How dare this romance disrupt my peace?

I was not expecting you.

I was seeking normalcy. 

Sustained solitude

Supplemented with intentional imaginary trysts.

Curtains rustled. 

Your breath met mine. Our lips fed on each other. Our skin gleamed with an indulgent sweat of newly acquainted lovers. Our gasps subsided into pregnant pauses.

There was much to digest and still more to replay;

My sleep shattered by the reverberations of our intimacy. 

I fear vulnerability. I fear capsizing from passion.

I do not fear you.

I do not fully understand and yet

I surrender.

There was a story on your lips I craved to read.

I saw forests reflected in your irises and I desired to walk in them awhile.

I will drink you in like lilac on the late spring breeze.

Savoring each swallow.

My thirst will abate.

I will abide.
