I felt her listen as the night took its shape
From the long chill of December onto the warmth of June

She uttered her name onto the gravel steps
That led up to her apartment doorway
This night, with her eyes drawn on me
The streets seemed a bit calmer

The back of her throat a bit longer
As each one us leaned a bit closer
To the touch of lips
I could remember this moment forever

If only all our moments were like this
Where love trespassed amongst our most dreary mornings
Or the nights we feared that our tears
Would bear a heavy burden on the white seams of the couches we lay on

But tonight I listened with her
I took the time to ease my mind
Her scent; rose peddled, floral
Slowly rode up my skin

Each stare
Time stalled as the snow fell along the hollow ground
Until her doorways, dark, oval entrance
Bared her skin to follow.

Fantastic.

Too strung out on compliments, overdosed on confidence.
