I cannot sleep and I cannot wake,
there is this new weighted feeling I get most afternoons
where I'm sinking below sea level,
tracing  geometric shapes onto my geologic limbs,


and no wonder love feels so rocky
when mountains are carved into our lips,
gravel our hips,
and we use our rockwall skin to climb each other,


but I need your page turning palms pressed against my winter worn waist,
and I need your sun to be my moon,
because we are ultraviolet lights in an unbound galaxy,

so let me collapse into your event horizon,
let me sway along the depths of your Caribbean,
then let me breathe beneath your carousel stained skin,

for I need you
always and forever
and then even more than that.
I'm not sure what this is

really nice descriptive work here and well-conveyed passion.

I'd suggest coral stained instead of carousel to fit with the previous line but also to keep that idea of staining many colors (if that's what you were going for) :shrug: up to you.
