I watched my words drift slowly to you
and the ceiling breathed in
uneasily
knowing we were both feeling
our way around eachother
not sure of what we would become...
and your back was curved
next to mine...
I could see the way my vowels
slid down its slope
and how each breath of yours
straightened it temporarily,
you slithered
serpentine sighs
seemed to dissolve as soon
as they hit the air.
the warm night was heavy
with the weight of expectations
and wishes.
your lips framed sentences
that broke into peices
as they hit my ears
in fragments of themselves,
shattered by the stiffened air
and the distraction of my fantasy,
because maybe you saw me
as i was
but when i looked at you
I saw us kissing
and your breath was mine
the way your spine
could conform to my body
was floating in my mind
and we sat there for hours that night
just playing with the time.
