valentine day

when you touch me with these

feathers you hold in your hand

I shiver I long for more

I ask for deliverance from myself

I rise to your unspoken whispers

I run through my veins

I rush to reach that zenith

designed for likes of us

holding on to each other

we climb one step at a time

with your pace entwined in mine

I know the day we need to call ours

is just before this horizon

we shall reach through the skies

to hold hands for one time, our time.
