Tomorrow Thoughts

By Jaxia Kiley © 2006

Window's open. A soft breeze runs across our skin and under the sheets as we dance together. And I close my eyes as the music ends, waiting for your soothing voice or a gentle kiss. And rumors lie because I can see only you surrounding me, and I envelope you, completing the circle. I feel your smooth skin and your warm touch even when you're far away. I lie around, thinking of little things I can do to show you my thoughts. And I can see your smile of happiness even before they're done. And dreams of what we'll do and what we'll be float freely through my mind. I wonder if forever really crosses your mind. Seems almost real, like it's already happening whenever you're in my arms. Hard to imagine love without you. Hope you'll never go away, because I miss you already. Pull up the covers and move my pillow closer to yours. A warm kiss, pressing my body against the length of yours, and tomorrow I'll tell you about it.

Gemini

So cruel
To pulverize a living, beating heart
With words that reek of acid
Formed by such beautiful lips

-----

Before you, love was a little girl
playing dress up and pretend.
The shoes fit me now and the
clothes are my own but
loving you is still like still like
being in a fairy tale.
