Only you know
Come to me softly like the rain,
gently penetrate me
until you at last
saturate and drench me.
Give me this fuel
so I may rise from
the dark, the dirt, the cold,
I want to feel the sun
on my leaves and my blooms.
Embrace me from a distance
with only your words,
the ones that come only to you,
let’s mix them with the words
that come only to me
and see if they’ll form
a story, a song, or a poem.
Touch me, yes, reach out
and softly, with your finger tips,
touch me, the way your eyes do,
I see how they soften for me,
kiss me with your eyes, and then
your lips and your soul.
Open me when I close,
open me like a flower,
petal by petal,
until you reach my essence,
then give me a name only you know. |
