You

A Poem by thebigtrippie

love lingers

Our seasons grow from pale to pure,
And your warmth scratches my back,
And I wish the sun would strip me down
And embrace me in a bareback cradle
I wait for a time where we can live
A life fully crafted by honest love
A simple heart pumps; you make mine flutter
Fly home to me, natural dove
You said you’ll never leave us, but you stutter
Just treat me like any other
I know you, but I’ll never grasp your mind’s maze
Or, from across the room, your incompetent gaze
I’ve noticed how often you stare,

So until then, I’d admire if just the sun-gazed dusk

Would play with my quiet, evil, jealous but overly genuine hair
