Kiss Me In the Rain

I once tried to paint you by numbers.

But I failed because I made the

foolish mistake of thinking

your beauty could be

contained by simple

borders & colors...

...Three dimensional clouds

remind me of your rosy cheeks

pressed against twilight pillows.

The same way your eyes

remind me of stained-

glass windows...

...now...

...Melt into my bowl of ice cream

so I can consume you as my

midnight snack. I promise

to lick the spoon and

eventually melt

you back...

...I want

to melt

your heart,

but I refuse to

cause you pain.

So I’ll let you melt mine

if you promise to kiss me in the rain...
