vacation hiking in Vinicunca, Peru
06:15 am, i tape my tired knees
to my chest just to cuddle
it to keep running till
the mountain top.
the sea blue sky sensually
stared at me
whilst i panted
& it zephyred
only around my thighs
i could not contain my emotions
i could not sweat too;
the gazing romance had
cauterized my dermal pores
i tried to not fall for this place
but gravity had proven otherwise
because this longest mountain range
had me taking pictures like my first date
on its steeped chest that is paletted
in colors of a Ghanaian cocoa cake
