shapeless love

i'm a fort made of sheets,
held in place with ivory shapes,
skin like milk,
silhouettes hang
thick as air,
thick as air.

i'm the stones in the sea,
i've sunken down,
and been retrieved,
into your palms,
i fit so sweet,
round me out,
round me out.

i'm a tree in the wind,
firm i stay,
but sway within
as heavy breaths
move me again,
hold me still,
hold me still.

i'm the body that you touch,
ridged and uneven,
as mountain tops,
smooth like satin,
please don't stop,
your fingertips,
your fingertips.

i'm the moon of every night,
i'll switch to sun,
and give you light,
i see darkness,
you keep me bright,
undying love,
undying love.

you are the picture on the wall,
stoic and framed,
you stand so tall,
you give me everything,
you let me have it all,
never strings,
never strings.

you are the love inside of me,
you'll always stay,
you're part of me,
you are all
i'll ever need,
my sweet,
my sweet.
