In the crooks of your body, I find my religion.

something holy inside you wants to get out but you can’t let it

[reachingperihelion]

find someone whose name brings you to your knees, whose eyes tell you stories you'll repeat each millennia so the earth can never forget them,

find someone whose hands leave stars on your skin that you kiss in gratitude at the thought of proximity to them,

don't ever let them go.

God, i love you so much it feels like every breath whistles out your name, every part of my body was handcrafted to hold yours with care and sentiment, i want you to see the birds and the trees and think of the way i sound, how i feel, how i love you.

the earth wrote stories of you.

your hand in mine, our lips together, my hands on your waist, sliding down your thighs in reverent awe, breath passing between us full of love and lust and hope and forever.

you were written for me, and i'll hold you tightly in gratitude.

i am going to plant seeds under every inch of your skin with my lips, my hands shielding you from the harsh world. i think i want nothing more than to be your elements, your sun, your rain, your clouds. i think i want to watch flowers bloom from your heart, leaves waving when you smile, while i sit and think you are the most beautiful thing i've ever seen.

i want to pray to you, hold onto the bottom of your skirts and beg for mercy and grace from your hands and let you pour through my veins as i love you as God intended, you are as close to the Divine as i will ever get in this lifetime and my soul is saved in your name.

and that has always been

my greatest achievement.

In the realm of love, where hearts collide, A tale of passion, where emotions reside, I'll paint a poem, with words so absurd, "I love you," ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?
