Verse: autopsy

Why would
you judge me
by my kisses

would you
be so bold
to deny me
your lips
for never once
having brought
you the sky

I told you
I could not
reach it
that it was
too vast for
me to embrace
and that I
could not
douse the
incandescent eye
of the sun
that seems to
follow you everywhere

if you
would only kiss
when you dream kisses
then do not dream

Quick,
dissect
my eager heart
collect the blood
that flows through
my veins
and you will know
as I do
that I love you
