Yesterday

The start of this,
the first verse,
love interrupted us
all because I fell in love. 
To tell the truth
or truth be known
losing control to you 
I am under a locked spell
honestly, from the start
I never had a real chance
making my own real way. 
It was only yesterday
my long and heavy eyes
went searching 
for that one perfect spot. 
I can’t walk far in the sun,
it didn’t take too long
to find you there
naked against a dune. 
Salt to heavy lips
I love how we kiss 
mouth to mouth
ever so softly at first. 
Pretty are the marks
the little twists and bite marks
all innocent and accidental
of course. 
I want more,
allow me to build 
a wall for you.  
Come lay close with me
an hour at a time at first
let me taste the tiny sips
of your new perfume. 
Yesterday,
I swear you promised
I could have a lifetime
with a locked smile
that only I could hide.
