Holding On

Husky coffee voice resonates,

longing hanging on the line,

grasping onto your lightning,

clinging to soul across the globe.

Crooning echoes passionately flow -

the boiling burgundy of unshed tears,

clenching teeth wanted to slip into your soul,

black wine sunset memories as I strip naked

and melt into the sultry promise of you.

Together, we are shadows in the setting sun

walking our long road into the starry night,

nestled in each other’s minds, breathing

life into soft words, our love cushioned

in thoughts of you swimming lazily

in my essence, bathing in my stillness,

and I hold onto your voice until you return.
