…reminisce over you

soul seeps secrets in upward motions
to my heart’s mind
so i figure it’ll be okay to undo daydreams
about you
unintentionally
we cris cross our patterns till we’re intertwined again
so our limbs can lock in involuntary ways again
and since you won’t help it
i don’t try

one of our many songs is playing our background
but your mouth is moving
saying something pretty that just i don’t need to hear
so i look on as your lips dance
remorseless for my objectifying you
cause you do the same
to my lips
...my eyes
...my thighs

daydreams last longer than reality
so i work up honest nostalgia ridden smiles
as i wrap my arms around images of a deep brown you
chest exposed
pearl colored cotton sheets wrapped at your waist
with your lying beside me
facing my back as i pretend to sleep
you trace the sidelines
the valleys
from my neck
to my waist
and top it off with your trademark kiss on my shoulder blade

alarms buzz silent i like yous
attempting wake ups
but instead we get up to homemade melodies for brunch
and mimosas mixed with my moving for early treats
you can’t help it so you ask if i’ll always dance for you
but after one too many sways i fall lazy
and you follow
back into disheveled sheets
cause a hoofer and a dancer equate our trouble

double rhythm tip taps and turns
and our performances never cease to amaze
cause we look good together
and from afar
love isn’t physical
but our physical is easy
and pretty
