hourglass
do you love me?
night turns to day
seconds drop through the hourglass
as my heart aches so badly for more
time
time
time
just to lay and gaze into your eyes,
wrap your soft skin in mine
tangled and glistening,
your arms feel like home,
and finally
I have what I have been longing for all this time–
my darling, I have never known a love quite like this.

especially love the repetition of “time” on separate lines and the rhyme with “mine”
thank you so much!!
Beautifully intimate. Love the italics bookending the poem.
I echo both Philip’s comments. Lovely, sensual images–beautiful form.
