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
