My Love



My Love,
I know your perfections
I have them filed,
Somewhere in a rusty box.
They are invisible, to most.
I know your fingers
Long and slim,
tasting slightly of salt.
I know your eyes,
Charcoal smudged
burning passion into mine.
I know your lips
plump and swollen.
After our passionate love-making.
I know your smell
the sweet and the sour,
that lingers on your breath.
My heart is briming
with your torturous love notes.
I feel like I've dived off a cliff
Into a thunderstom.
I burst into flames
From your touch.
I want to take my skin off
And leave it here with you.
So you won't forget
that I belong to you.
