a heartfelt species, pt. I

sip for a burst of something new,
just as sweet as the place you think of.
a kiss will take you through the senses
while the air and faces acclimate.

beneath a routine of night noises
a heartfelt species opens up to you in bed,
conversing with the comforts of your heart
(to the familiarity of feeling).

after everything, love will dabble
between the transiency of desire and
all lengths of our intimate treaties formed,
soaked, in tales of days crossed off.
