I wear your touch

By manunkind

AVillanelle-

My blood quivers- its body is full of splintered arrows
Downcast doe eyes lift to meet midnight azure
Dawn rises and glows like love, the sweetest peril.

The cherry wetness of your lips hangs upon my cheek
Who knew I could love a boy, and you could love a freak?
My lonely skin trembles like forbidden arrows.

I wear your touch, you kiss my bite
The world, its system, even I am wrong- But this is right!
Poor world, sun shines like love, the greatest peril.

Your neck is mine, your lips are mine
And all your skin, your thoughts, divine.
i want more of you, more of your deadly arrows.

My eyes are yours, my hips are yours
And all my skin, my words of course.
Eye light glows with dawn with inescapable peril.

I am like a white lily swaying in
The fields; a flower with eyes, and a stalk of bone.
My blood quivers- its heart is full of arrows.
This dawn’s light glows with love, with certain peril.
