eros the bittersweet

fragile

the fragile threads that wrap
your nakedness weave the light
to your agile and delicate body,
tying the ends to timelessness

your eyes the color of amber,
careful yet intent, words spoken
softly send you to slumber
where you rest in my arms

quietly, gracefully, and all
i can remember are nights
imbued with dreams and wishes

holding us both in stillness
as i wait for the moon to drown
the strands that caress you.

Thanks for reading through the crazy things i cannot contain :D

Yes, I am a Filipino. Ever so proud of our language which was why I write poems in Tagalog sometimes.

Catch you soon, Theo :)
