I want us to have a love affair.
You and me.
How about it,
my love?
I’m inviting you to show up
suited, in your tightest emotions
thoughts, buttoned up
over that raw and wounded chest.
Come, let me unclothe you,
let me help you
out of this world
where you are unhappy
not at your best.
not yourself.
I am excited,
love,
to watch you unbind
the laces,
of your knotted and twisted dreams
only to watch them fall
as do unexpected tears
when you ground
in ways you have never known.
There is no woman like me, love
no woman better
to be servant of you
mistress to everything you hide
priestess of the connection
between your heart and your soul.
I want us to have a love affair,
my love,
fit for the pages of books
once piled high and burned.
Are you in
or are you out?
Because I am already submerged
all in, and waiting,
to see you
to caress the parts of you
desperate for starlight
breath
open wind and soft landings
Come find me, sweetest heart.
Oh my love,
what a journey we might take.
What a journey,
we might take.
I am thrilled,
at the gift of who you might be
I am already in love,
with who you are leaving behind.
All of you love,
There is room,
for all of you.
So how about it?
How about we take this time, love
to run away together
disrobed and free
warm from the cold
seen in the darkness
heard,
beneath the noise of a life
that was not given for you to be less
not built for who you pretend to be.
If you enter, love,
I will not abandon you
I will not let you go.
I will show you, love
what it is,
to enter a bed of skies
where you may fly all of who you are
and meet with lost parts of self
who you will love
who are loved
just as sweetly,
just as completely
as a babe in arms.
Come, my love,
sit down,
let us find you.
There is no place like home,
and no home, love
if all of you is not here.
