gates to kisses, gates to love

let us melt
into the sand
kiss your veins
from running hot
too hot
or cold
keep them safe
and warm
inside my sleeve
where i leave
my heart
for you to
touch,
for you to
squeeze.
keep it safe
while i'm away
while i am off
tomorrow's day.
keep this love
inside your box
the one i love
the one you
need.
kiss me goodbye
and rest on
your porch
away
in the sunlight
consumed by the
warmth.
i'm gone and
you're here,
away from the
world.
goodbye my love,
i love you so,
truly.
