Heart to Heart

I’m watching your lips move

as you struggle to speak

and your voice is so quiet it hurts.

Your words melt like the sun

behind a vacillating horizon.

–

Face to face I settle

flush against you

and your embrace fits

so perfectly it hurts.

If only we could remain

long after the sun

penetrates our bones.

–

Our bodies are full

of heartbeats and scars

so deep they hurt.

The morning steals

but the nights

give and give.

–

Call me moonstruck.

Covet me asylum.

Kiss me so hard it hurts.
