Allowed?

Your lips move over me my toes curl involuntaryFinally, I am in my body (out of my head) You’ve brought me back to myself Your fingertips dip and trace my curvesmy breath deepens (dizzy with desire) Don’t stop, I need it again This release you give me as I scream your name throw curses towards the ceiling (I can’t contain it) Is this allowed toContinueContinue reading “Allowed?”

My Peace (with audio)

as you reach for me and I reach for you, through oceans and timezones, we are held and beheld by each other and in these moments when we connect, everything goes still and I find peace… and that peace is you Another poem pulled from the poetry vault from September 2020. I wrote this oneContinueContinue reading “My Peace (with audio)”
