Unconditional Poem by Elizabeth Tyease Collins

We could lay within a mountain of sheets
Wrapped up in between crevices of our tangled legs and feet,
We could lay chest to chest and feel the vibrations of our hearts beat,
My breath could be taken by your breath,
Your voice would be mine and echo through my veins,
Our hands could travel the routes through canyons of our thighs and soft flesh,
tongues tracing across the terrain to lead you straight to my heart
I could only lay and ache and writhe to be closer to you,
Because I don't want to miss a single second,
and none of that would ever compare to how close i want to be to you.
