close to you…
the most
tender and
terrifying place
i know

Read More →there’s this
beating in my heart,
and it sounds like you.
and this ache. in. my. chest…
it feels like you.
– butterflies rising
Read More →maybe we
could just lay here
and i could just kiss your skin,
until you feel this light,
until beautiful settles easy on you,
until all that love in you
feels like home
– butterflies rising
Read More →i want to
tangle with you,
and fall into you,
and feel all of you,
your breath, your skin,
your hands, your heart,
your everything…
all of it, all of you,
all around me
– butterflies rising
Read More →sometimes
we love
in fingertip touch…
and it’s
just as close as
we can get
– butterflies rising
Read More →soul-tangled
with you.
you were an imprint here
before we touched wild skin.
you were a feeling. a sense.
and now
you’re an instinct. a gravity.
with. you.
my heart has no defense.
i feel chemicals with you.
my skin remembers you.
and when our bodies have to
untangle and let this life turn over
you’ll be just a feeling
and just a sense…
but only until
we’re skin to skin again.
– butterflies rising
Read More →i only know
how to crave
skin against skin
and my heart against
a chest
like a fingerprint
– butterflies rising
Read More →i love in heartbeats,
slow and sweet, so sweet,
and hard, and reckless,
and racing, and so close,
maybe too close…
so then running,
and reaching, and aching,
but in heartbeats, everything,
all of it, in heartbeats
– butterflies rising
Read More →i love all those little
pretty, dirty edges where you play…
so beautiful and wild all at once.
