no words for

no words for
the way your heart
sings along your veins
and skips
in tiny ripples
over your throat

no words for the smoothness
of your pores slipping into mine

no words for
the sweet taste of your skin
like a wild island
the soft scent of home
on this unknown shore

An unruly plant that grows on you, and becomes part of your native flora.
