aquamarine

sipping in the quiet repose

amidst your profuse drip

the stillness within a perceived experience

leaves its mark

flowing on the off beat

queuing the dip in your hip

illumination below the cap

pulled away to desiccate the fountain of your brow

strikes the depth of my curiosity

you let loose a beam amid the concentration

figuring the tweeking in the decibels

maneuvering the course of uninhibited frequencies

making the bodies bounce

moments of me watching you watching me

the interlude in which I muster the approach

to the filed rabbit toothed grin

and your voice, soft and delicate

inviting and warm

a pill held out in your hand

in the hopes of some sort of collision

I swallow, trusting

and the night’s end is delayed

the ecstatic pull between us

the flutter of read sweetnesses

terms of endearment I’ve never owned

invitation to collapse in a slumbering embrace

nesting the landscape of your environment

welcoming me to swim your aquamarine

let’s drag out this anticipation

until the monotony of a good thing

breaks the tension

and this wondrous energy dissipates

leaving us to pursue the pinnacle of these palpitations

and the glimpse of something good

in someone new
