Thrill me
When you trace your fingertips
along my spine,
When you reach inside the layers
of my love,
When you sever the vines that
strangled my heart,
oh, you thrill me.
When you whisper our shared language
in the darkness,
When you brush away the dust
that caked my lips like iron,
When you tilt my chin and
tug at the creases of my dress,
oh, you thrill me.
I never knew that love
could be
this glowing summer sunset
You clasped my hand,
inviting me
to join you for the ride.
Each morning, when the sun peeks
over the blue mountain,
your love lights up my sky
You thrill me even more
