An Open Letter to My Valentine

Valentine,

 

How you make my stomach fly-

only to have it plummet when you kiss me.

 

Your lips caress my tender shell.

Your tongue glues my shattered pieces.

 

Your hands,

magical extremities

that explore every inch of my privacy.

A privacy I love sharing with you.

 

This bed we share is paradise-

the thought of leaving causes me dread.

 

As the sun rises,

filling this room with light

I notice your body anew,

wanting to devour your toasted skin.

 

The beams trace your skin

in ways I can’t 

repeat. My hands on you.

 

Our mouths close.

 

A whisper.

 

A smile.

 

‘I love you.’

 

My name is Parker Howell. I love to spend my time writing (mostly poetry) and cuddling with my cat when he's not biting me. I'm majoring in Creative Writing at Wells College so writing is a major influence in my life. I love cacti, corgis, and chai tea.
