Love Poem: Aces

Aces

if all these thoughts are put to waste
at least i kid myself
wish i knew of better things to say

tho i wonder how your lips will taste
like salt and lime
and silver and fate.
salt and lime..
what am i thinking?

tho last night i swear id felt you breathing
along my neck
across my spine -silver and lime.
youd filled my lungs to say
'hun close your eyes and wake
and finally live one day for yourself."
oh god,
when you said that
id thought my body'd surely melt.

i see your face and think
you'd understand
those arms
those hands
they'll hold me.
and if i could save one last moment of perfection
id dissolve into you.

im waiting
and wishing and wanting and hurting and fading
