poem to you written in whispers 

lover

do you realize

the earth tilts on its axis

way beyond 23.5 degrees

when my lips touch your lips

do you know

your blue-grey eyes

slink like cats into mine

make me less jaded

and when I growl

grasping my doubt like a shield

lover

your voice steals calm after rain

and says hush

hush baby

and in spite of myself

i do

haven’t you figured out

your hands across my back

span centuries and I swear

the sun’s first ray on earth

felt just like this
