your body is one of water
everlasting, never ending,
fitting through my fingers so fluid and so graceful
let me explore the deepest, most hidden away parts of you
reserved for me to discover
and praise as though a goddess.
your heart is one of gold,
warm and shining through your skin
holy in a way i never have been or shall be,
fitting in my palms perfectly
protected and adored as art in the museum of us
adorning me so beautifully
as if i have never looked better in silver.
your mouth is one of berry skin,
soft and pink like the hues of the sky as the moon begins to rise,
begging to be held in my lips embrace the same as sappho and her loves
and singing like a siren to my ears no matter the sound that escapes;
i would gladly be pulled under and drowned so long as you're the one stealing my breath.
your eyes are those of a hurricane,
swirling and storming in neverending overthought
yet calm and bright and near perfect still when i catch you looking at me
and oh, how lovely it is to be stared at by such eyes
marking me down as yours so clearly
taking me in so passionately and silently as though i am the landscape that must be examined and adored
and not the mirror against the wall instead.
your love is one of the seasons,
shifting and burning and cooling forevermore but never faltering,
spinning round and round as a ballerina with your hands round my waist
icing my wounds and kissing them better just to turn around and melt my heart
you are a work of art that i can make no mistakes upon because you
you are nature's true miracle.
i hear it when you laugh with a siren's song on your breath,
i see it when you smile at me as if apollo himself graced you with starlight in the blood pooling to your cheeks,
i feel it in the lightning static of my skin when you come near my thoughts and brush your fingertips through my tangled hair,
i smell it on the back of my teddy bear's neck where the rose and vanilla forever lingers so much like the thought of you does on my mind,
i taste it like nectar upon my own teeth when you manage to place a smile on my face as gentle as a kiss upon my forehead.
you are everywhere i can fathom,
everything i want and need,
anything i could dream.
and i love you like it's one eighteen.
