Drop of Life

I watch
the drops
of life
precariously
balance
upon the edge
of your lips,
and I want
to catch it
upon my tongue
hold it
savoring
the taste.

The sun
vanishes
behind
your eyes
darkness
is the time
for lovers,
love makes
night of day
for everything
fades from
view but you.

I want
your body
to eclipse
mine,
your limbs
wound
around me
we can
become
lost in
constellations
of our own
making.
