Riverbed 5

My dear so and so is very far away

A stone in your stomach is no way to start the day

I pray to the waves and utter my wishes

I'd rather have spirals and butterfly kisses

Her wings for a morning, to swim in her breeze

To walk across deserts with similar ease

I'd surrender my fortune and burn the last chapter

Swallow the future and deal with the past after

Ache is inside me and burns for her edges

It lingers, I long for her lips and her fingers

Her voice on my skin, the hush of her lullaby

My blood starts to rush and shooting stars multiply

Bottomless kisses, I want to unfold her

Sleep tangled up with her head on my shoulder

She holds my breath, I swallow her fire

The slower she goes, I'll follow her higher

We navigate each other's lengths,

We parachute and waterfall

We hold ourselves open and restrain ourselves not at all

I torture myself with runaway intentions

No sound, no light, time starts to slow down

The storm washes over me, she takes me apart

She masters my body and breaks my heart

I cover the clocks and try to remember

To forget, to forgive, to forsake, and to forfeit
