silence ----
s h a t t e r e d with a whisper of your pulse
under a tightening embrace
my heart pumps tainted blood quicker inside your chest
our time

outside reality
i extend my soul inside of yours
borders of being
crossed
your thoughts run through my mind
if i weren't breathing you
in ----
why would i inhale ?
your eyes
smearing my skin with hope
thickness of desire dulling
the thought that
there is any existence
beyond
us.
