I don't yet exist

by Beth - Scorpio

I have longed to lace my fingers thin
with your own
they are artists hands, long and lithe
I like how big they feel in comparison to my own

I have longed for 3am conversations
with your eyes
they are deep and mesmerising
laying my soul naked in your gaze
they tell me secrets
our words could never voice

I have longed to feel your breath
against my cheek 
a whispering cantos to sooth my skin
that threatens to leap from my body and
wrap itself around you like ivy up a
weathered trellis

I have longed to dance with you
under a crescent moon
a gentle breeze that caresses our nudity
and your lips that leave a trail
of goose bumps on my wanting flesh

I have longed to kiss you
to kiss the lips that murmur softly
in the fantasy I have woven for us
a world were only you and I exist

I have longed to hurt you
to ravage you 
with this unchecked passion
that bubbles and spits like Vesuvius
impossible to contain

And I will go on longing
playing make-believe
until you
can paint me real
with the black ink of your pen .
