Trembling Kisses Poem by Dakota Ellerton

She lights the flames of my fingertips, as our skin accepts a sinful embrace, a smile to spread across my face, as my heart leaps from the cavitiy once known in my chest as full.

Shes the shadow behind the smile so unevenly placed from cheek to cheek, across my tear covered masks. She could only love and hope to love, like any one person in a corrupt world could, but only me, myself and I, only in this time of truth of reality, could she be loved too truly by me.

Her heart too fragile to be still and collect dust, too insecure and lonely to not need acceptance in her and only her, for she is simple beauty. In every inch of fair skin, my lips would need no reason not to love her in every way, to hold her without a twitch in my grip, endlessly through the starry night beneath the milky way, as each thunderous wave washed upon the pebbles resting under our feet.

To her perfection, I lay my heart bare with the simple recognition - she is in my thoughts.
