how can i express my self expression?

i fall asleep under your breast,
i only ever sleep easy curled
around a shape created for
mine. your heart beats and

plays on my cheek softly, like
we are the two quiet kids in
the playground, sitting under a
blooming kowhai tree, playing
with each other's shoes, never
saying anything at all, but speaking
in words so humane.

all i ever had was in you, and
the thought of departure scares
me into your arms.

but it could never convince me to stay,
as much as my love could.

my love for you rises, and bursts into
yellow petals, summer sun could
never burn us, never burn us,
never burn us whole.
