languishing

February 8th, 2021

Amore Mio

I have six pages left ’till I can close this chapter of languishment

and start the book series of our love story.

It never crossed my mind that we would start our narrative

through such a crisis

but at least we have found one another.

Being hugged by you soothes me;

merely being in your arms feels like the warmest form of acceptance I’ve ever felt.

When the rim of your lips brushes against mine,

it feels like a shot of euphoria,

so full of endearment and intoxicatingly addictive.

Although we are apart now,

you’ve used this distance as a tool to unfold untold tales of my past

and rediscover the events that make the woman I am now.

I reminisce about the time

when the moon watched us undress one another

and time ceased to exist.

I feed off of our memories to nourish my starving desire

such as the gentle way you held me throughout the night

with such tender benevolence.

Since the moment you’ve entered my life,

you’ve added the most exciting twist to the plot

rousing my dull sunsets and subduing the fiends.

Upon my return to your warm embrace

you can put end to my ennui

cross the page

and begin our chronicles as one

for I am forever yours
