Assignation

What even is time, but unfair?
A supposed well-deserved title for a forced throne
as I wish merely for the sweet escape of your company
where the background fades to the loudest silence
committed to our moment
the truest adoration hops elegantly from note to note
your pheromones a natural concoction of obsession

Tinder glances beneath the whisps of brown curly curtains
that shield your cocoa eyes, especially from my gaze
while our breath dances together; in sync our lungs respire
We tempt to risk the fates set by Venus for our own temporary delight
thoughts to show up in the light, tip-toe from the shadows
but without a healthy plan, disaster a fortune from the simple

With barely minutes left to spare, a separation nears
Reminders of limits set a neurotic frenzy above my shoulders
and makes a buzzing ring my ears
and when you notice, you always do
another notch in the column of reasons why we should
out-notching the reasons why we won’t
and shall not ever, still

Double Sided Tryst

She eyed me like a hard candy her mother told her not to eat
and I liked every second of it

He let his hands run down my back like satin feathers on royalty
and I craved every minute of it

She covered my entire body in kisses like it was forbidden to miss a spot
and I enjoyed every moment of it

He wrapped his arms around my waist like he was afraid to let go
and I needed every second of it

She fell asleep to my heart like it was music
and I adored every minute if it

He sneaked away before the sun rise like none of it meant a thing
and I regretted every moment of it
