Without it, we are not human  I wish a taste of love could land on my tongue, just a small little taste of good ole love. --------------------------------------------------- The urge came to seep into your skin and dwell.  Wanting to dissect everything you keep from the world.  Even though I can already write 1000 words about how much I want you.  1 million books and poems about you that filled books and shelves.  Although, I could never let you see me;  you may never even know of me.  You look right past me only to see someone e...

Oh but the sun is going to shine down on us.  To soak our bodies with sweat, to reveal the thick polished skin underneath that we crave to touch.  We get up and to reality we return.
