Sarah Whelan

Sparks fly as we rub together
The heat fuels our frustration
I writhe and I realise,
Although lost in your eyes,
...

It was so calm as we lay intertwined
Yet your heart beat as fast as mine,
Seeming to whisper of things unsaid
Hinting that the same thoughts were in your head.
...

You are my muse of many months

Mutterings born from misery
...

The beat of my heart speeds up time,
I lose minutes with every glance.
Sparks from your eyes catch my attention.
I find my mind is racing,
...

Pull me to you again.
I want to feel alive.
Something stirs within my chest
with a glance into your eyes.
...

Fire coarses from you.
Making silence crackle.
There are sparks behind your eyes.
...

This is an affectionate madness I’m lingering in
Magpie of glances and brushes of skin
I gather fragments of days
At night they play
...

Please leave my dreams alone
Your little visits ache too much
I follow your lead in the day
We're strangers
...

...

I talk too much when I'm nervous.
But the words I should have said are still burning a hole in my mouth.
Too late to spit them out.
