Tendrils

Bite that soft spot between my neck

And my shoulder

Let your tendrils burrow through my veins

Making their way into my heart

Plant a seed into my mouth

With a kiss

Intertwine your legs with mine

Let’s grow roots together

At least for tonight.

When the day breaks through

Plant me in the garden of your

memory.

 

As the years go by I will become a tree

To shade you

From the hot light of the sun

That fades all things
