mask

something in the way
love strips away our masks
the space between filled with desire

I keep watching you
dreaming of touching your lips
imagining words that soothe my soul

all I want is to feel
weight lifted as we rise above
gravity pulling us closer and closer

I love the way
chemicals between us dance
reflected in the pool of our moonlight

barefoot and running
forgetting what's in pursuit
outrunning all our fears (safe from harm)

this house is on fire
shackled and chained to you
let's take this life as it comes...together
