The Landscape of You

SerenWise

The landscape of you,

Which I long to explore,

The potholes of clavicles,

Plush rising pectorals;

Rivers of veins, tracing

Their ambient way

Down your elegant arms,

Pulse against your skin

Like a drum-beat tide.

The grey of your eyes,

Like the stormiest skies,

Nevermore cast in shadow;

And the lines of your laughter

Curve away like a footpath,

A road for your memories

Paved with those smiles. 

Your skin is a map,

Which I still long to trace

With deliberate fingertips,

Yet still, I will choose

To effortlessly lose myself,

In the landscape of you.
