all i wanted was 

a kiss with so many waxes and wanes

that i would spend the rest of the night

trying to name it,

from lips that i had to keep tasting

and a face that would make me

pause

in the doorway,

to be melted

by a new season

.

all i wanted made 

an impossible sea

that you crossed safely

in the night

and i had only

to stand on tip toes

to close the last distance
