Moonlight Loving

I want to fly

On a dragon,

With you

And disappear into the horizon

With daydreams in our backpacks,

Mischief in our pockets,

And garlands of laughter in our hair.

I want to become an imprint in the stars

So I can watch you sleep

From a thousand speckled angles.

I want to be the shooting star

That carries your wish from your sparkling lips

To the ears of God.

I want my eyes to be red

From thinking of you,

I want to laugh uncontrollably at your smile

Because it’s cute like that.

I want my pupils to dilate

At the sight of you.

I want to sstutter every time you say goodbye.

I want to overdose on your touch

Because you give me that sort of high.

I want to stroll on the edges of your smile,

Balance on your lips

And hope to tumble in,

So I can play around your heart,

Be a part of you,

Explore your anatomy.

I want to map out your body,

Find the points that make you giggle,

Find the points that make you angry

When you tell me you don’t like to be tickled,

Find the points that make you cry

Because the scars on your skin

Hurt too much when I kiss them.

I want to kiss you,

I want my lips to travel from your stomach,

Make their way north, climb up your chin,

Take a detour to your cheeks,

Get lost and find that they’re on your forehead,

Travel down the coast of your face,

take a pit stop by your ears,

take the scenic route to your eyes,

slide down your nose

and finally make their home on your lips.

I want to kiss you,

Because it will teach me how to fly with dragons,

Show me how to daydream

And give me the ability to speak to God.

I want to disappear,

With you,

Forever,

To live outside time,

Because some kisses,

Because our kisses,

Were never meant to wither.
