Utopia First

When you kiss me I feel as though I were floating
In a place with no boundaries or precepts of time
I think I could quite possibly erupt out of my self
When your skin comes into contact with mine

The vitality of this corporeal heat
Threatens to consume every last drop of my soul
Sometimes I believe you’re devouring me slowly
The way a cat laps up milk from a bowl

I lay my head on your chest for a moment
And I try to come to terms with it all
Your heart’s soft insistance gently reminds me
How much simpler it is to just let go and fall

I am beginning to feel somewhat frightened
As though I am drowning with no water near
Yet I am strangely compelled to stop fighting
To embrace and give into my fear

I don’t know how things will end if I keep falling for you
I’ll likely be hurt, disappointed, devastated or worse
But no matter - for however this turns out
I will always know we had this utopia first
