do not back away gently
it only makes it more ok
hidden in you, cloaked in honey sweat,
a mask of drained red wine.
yet i embrace the moment, clearly
dark gray to light blue to pink to light.
sky brightens tired eyes
gentle fingers slip down my side and find me.
do not back away gently,
it only makes it more ok
it only means now i know, it's a risk.
