Collapse
By Quietus
I am a
wounded gazelle fighting for life,
He is a hungry
lion stalking his prey.
He attacks
me so gently--
I give up
my fight and I collapse.
He is the
wind guiding me ever so gently,
I am a leaf touched
by the calmness of his movement.
Together we
glide in a state of euphoria--
All of my
nerves gather as one and I collapse.
My body is
the sound of a mild humming,
He is a song sung softly and fluidly.
He instills his lyrics into my body--
My lips scream his song and I collapse.
He is the
warmth of a summer's day,
I am the cold mist of morning.
Together, we collide in the sky--
A storm erupts and I collapse.
I want to
crawl into his skin.
I want to disappear into the softness of white sheets.
I want to be unraveled in ways that only he can unravel me.
I love him and the storm that we create.
I collapse...

Wow. I finally got an actual membership so I can post now. It's been WAY too long. First post was '11 and now it's '15. Time flies. Sorry if I've lost my touch, hahaha. I'm rusty. Also, sorry it's so cheesy. --QuietusComments on "Collapse"
