I could taste you in black and white,
but would rather have you
in short bursts
of color.
Exhilaration fades and quickens
so unevenly
that I'm dizzy.
Vertigo is misplaced
in the aqua
of your thoughts,
your soft
trickling thoughts.
I never meant
for my feet to grace the ground,
muddying your pure intentions,
but that's life.
Author notes
I'll try hard not to give in...
