his lips were stained with lollipops

vanilla sweeter than candy

clinging to his soft, seamless

thin body, small frame

cherries flourished on his cheeks

with a touch he left me breathless

with a touch my heart was aching

the pink roses he leaves with every step

the petals in his mouth

the sugar in his hair

the ghost of a breath on my neck

a canvas of an untouched sky

he paints red

purple plums, chewing gum

cloudless eyes

his hands made of silk

his words made lace

a falling star casts silver across his face

he captures moon beams

he sews a flower for me to share

the dip of his jaw

the slope of his nose

the freckle by his eye

the universe inside his lungs

no one knows what it is

to taste so sweet

they say he tastes so sweet

his lips are stained with lollipops

strawberry lollipops
