Exposed

how gently

this summer dusk

unfolds our petals

while the flowers close...

the way you smile when you're shy

is so

attractive...

But as this darkness settles

it hides everything —

our bodies, eyes, and even

the past.

we're invisible to each other,

but I can read the goosebumps on your skin

like braille

and see the sound of your breath

floating through my mind

with all it's color.

My remaining senses tingle

in your sensation

then go numb, and fall asleep

to the rest of this broken world

like pins and needles

but pleasurable, in a strange way.

Never would I have thought

it'd feel so wonderful to go blind

to such beauty

as yours...
