lost in the stars

i get lost in your mouth
breathing, exploring
i can’t breathe when
our lips meet and part

when they part, i feel
the ghost of them
lingering long enough
for me to lose control

don’t you wish we
had just walked away
before the music of
the ghost played its tune

with the piano keys
twinkling in your eyes
& i feel them on me
all the time, as you

watch my lips the way
you watch the stars –
mesmerized by their
beauty draining the sky
