We were two
mouths, two humans
separate souls
Your breath, heavy
inhaled the thin
line of air
dividing us,
spilled between my lips,
lingered
like red wine
As if you were the sun
warming
a faint autumn breaze
your heat
flushed my skin
Your scent gently
engulfed me, became my own
Now
your taste
is all through me
