Transgression
ARC

just when I think it's all over
and I'm sure my heart
has banished you forever
[but were you ever really gone?]
you come back
and the feelings burn
[are they real?]
more brightly than ever

red as blushing
warm as breathing
my confusion
[blind attraction]
rises in my face

drunk with your softness
my fingers weave through your hair
I think I smell cinnamon
[where did this come from?]
and your head is snug
as though it belongs here
[how did we end up like this?]
comfortable on my lap

reality continues
to dance past us
in wild blurs and murmurings
[insanely genuine]
but here you are before me

all of this seems
so wrong
[is it really?]
as I struggle to remember
the face of the Other
my beloved
[would he still love me?]
the one I truly adore

your eyes
gaze up at me
twin oceans
[perfectly turquoise]
and I am lost again
