empirical shadows and beautiful light

sojourning thirst
reposed over my tongue
yearning, yearning for the taste
of your beautiful body

i've awakened for the salt
on your blushing lips,
to take in your secret self
and breathe it in as though
my next breath
just may be the last

to me this is enchantment as i
fantasize of you
entwined and alluring as ever
deeply with only me

love, i can never consign your memory
to oblivion

so long as you haunt me forever
and dream as i've always dreamt
of you.
