her kiss silky pale & ripe want to share this swirl of stars singing to me far away of her drowning
I know you are a sky your hands touch me each touch starshine count them one two butterflies
if I were a cup let us fall in I know you are water here in the leaves so blue & entrancing these waters sparkle & glow like dreams
I will sink into your sky we will fall so blue such starshine singing I would hide filled with stars fire
the leaves fall fall through soft into you into me down down the trees are mouths touching mine
I know you your arms flung around me we fall like stars tangle in your mouth so sweet heaven in your golden flame entranced
I saw the dance in you pull me in the world drops away the dream so blue so filled with dawn gather me down into the darkness
I like your sky your eyeshine let me writhe tangled in your embrace beneath your embrace beneath your waves your sky the dark flame of your sirensong the confusion of your heaven
take my hand close my eyes want to be turning to your arms want want to see your dark pull me down
I fall from your hands your mouth an irretreviable distance how many arms around you filled with stars & october dreams
gather these waters into your mouth feel the sweet pull
how am I supposed to feel in your arms falling through leaves falling through your arms
your hands silky upon me hand cupped over your mouth to feel again the warmth of your dance in my arms
want to see your face down down in the waves take me into your hands
in your eyes I saw you & me in october heaven
want to sing you into my arms every note I spin away into a star spinning stars let me be a star aflame
the last one in the dark with you

by glitterpixy Ordinarily I'm not really into poetry that makes so many different metaphors this way but the rhythm of the whole thing is irresistable. Quite impressive.
