The bountiful lilac purple wisterias curtain our bedroom window The humidity of summer and the sound of cicadas wake us
My breasts swell in the cup of your hands The curve of my body lazily responding to your offering
There is only one line you fit between Fold me into origami with nothing but your tongue
Our bodies contort into a paper crane Loving for 1000 years till we turn grey Our souls take flight through the lilac purple haze into the flush blue eternity.
I want to ride a cloud to your bedside and make it into a silky soft pillow for your overthinking head to rest on. I want to sing love songs into your dream of thousands of sunflowers in Tuscany.
In response, you flicker your sickle moon lashes, mumbling an affectionate language only we know. Even the nightingale stops singing and listen. Touch-me-nots open without shame waiting to hear the interpretation. The secret garden comes alive.
I’m jealous of the rain That falls upon your skin It’s closer than my hands have been I’m jealous of the rain I’m jealous of the wind That ripples through your clothes It’s closer than your shadow Oh, I’m jealous of the wind, cause I wished you the best of All this world could give And I told you when you left me There’s nothing to forgive But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was Heartbreak and misery It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way You’re happy without me I’m jealous of the nights That I don’t spend with you I’m wondering who you lay next to Oh, I’m jealous of the nights I’m jealous of the love Love that was in here Gone for someone else to share Oh, I’m jealous of the love, cause I wished you the best of All this world could give And I told you when you left me There’s nothing to forgive But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was Heartbreak and misery It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way You’re happy without me As I sink in the sand Watch you slip through my hands Oh, as I die here another day Cause all I do is cry behind this smile I wished you the best of All this world could give And I told you when you left me There’s nothing to forgive But I always thought you’d come back, tell me all you found was Heartbreak and misery It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way You’re happy without me It’s hard for me to say, I’m jealous of the way You’re happy without me
