Alive Words
In the daylight we are ghosts floating past each other swiftly the only proof of our presence the buzz of electricity out of anger, pain, fear but when the night arrives you and I beneath the sheets beneath the roof that sits quiet beneath the dark sky and stars we are far away at first but like a magnet we are drawn nearer and nearer and the hum and heat of skin on skin is low and steady and gracious in it's comfort as we become again the pain slips away and in its place an ache a need and we reach out in silence and hold tightly to this moment fingers graze my temple my neck, my back and I inhale and exhale slowly so as not to shatter into the million pieces that scream inside and I too let my hands arrive at the surface of your skin and whisper to the night to never leave so that we can stay alive this way for always alive this way alive
