Freckles
By Alexandria Irion

You are always looking
for an adventure and
you find it in the wild
hearts of lovers
perhaps that is all
I should’ve been
an uncertainty
the soft white
of starlight
freckles
across my skin
you trace
like constellations
a flush of pink
rising to my cheeks
when your lips
whisper sins
…………it would take more
…………than one night
…………to love you
…………the way I want to
leave behind evidence
bruises once blue
then purple
fading green
the craving
in my eyes
reflects your own
and for the first time
in your life
you are afraid
