Tangerine
Tucking loose hair behind my ear
Eyes dancing,
Lovers in a smoky bar
Fingers crossed and legs intertwined
“I love you” echoes with every beat of my heart
Lighting a candle, locking the door
Warm light splayed across my chest
Breath by breath,
A lullaby
Old sheets tangles beneath our bodies
Languid motions exchanged between lips
Promises made, and kept
To be loved is to be split open
