You consume me

completely and utterly.

With every kiss,

every touch drenched in hunger,

every look filled with a new desperation

you ignite me

       destroy me

       digest me

Ultimately:

rebuild me

A storm

Raging, raging with all the beauty you possess.

Skilfully destroying me.

A fire

Igniting, igniting with all the violence you can muster.

Unknowingly destroying me.

A galaxy

Eternally, eternally expanding into infinity.

Unsympathetically destroying me.

You

Speaking, speaking so softly.

Always destroying me.

She looks for beauty

in all things.

Even in the things one would not expect it.

She finds love.

She finds it everywhere-

and embraces it.

She grasps the good

With two desperately clenched fists,

Afraid that if she lets it go

She will never find it again.

But

When all is dark and she is awake

she feels the weight of a hundred billion stars and their companions

resting on her chest.

She wishes the world adored her like she adores it.

Long limbs filled with sunlight

entangled in a mess of sweat and heat,

and sweet, sweet promises.

She kisses her softly,

Jawline

Neck

Breast

They whisper of days gone

of futures to come

a beautiful mess of uncertainties.
