Because i am supposed to say i love you

forgive me for this love that i lust for
when breathing becomes divest
i place my heart within that of creation

to have this lucid mind burdened
with such a taste for something

one becomes insatiable

in time self mourning
in the absence of
that taste

of flesh
of cloaked lover
morning coffee

naked corners
of doorways

pulling blankets
midnight water

mostly tired thoughts
of time passing
