Find me here
clean, soft and sweet
embrace and caress
all that you see
I lay before you open
humble and accepting
brush away the colored petals
and reveal warm flesh
supple and delicate
taste if you wish
uncover what I have
kept warm in anticipation
of what is true and pure
that I have found in you
I lie here a sacrifice of
will and a testament to
patience of want
remove petals that guard eyes,
their lids, nose and lips,
allow the sun to bathe me
cup the face that sleeps soundly,
study me
see that I have not let
those that were unworthy to touch
taste, embrace me
smooth back the hair that falls
in my face, over the ears,
see petals fall from the strands
watch me awaken in
your arms, needy and wanting
happy that you have found me
that you have me
that you have wanted only me
kiss coated coaxing drawing me
nearer to you and you into me
keep this moment as I will
I wish not for what
was or isn’t nor do I
pretend to neither grasp for what
is not there
take me as I am
and forget me not,
keep me in the quiet of
dream and embrace me
as dawn arises while the
twilight leaves
delve, swim, drown in
my depths for you and
you allow know its fathoms…
Give all of you to me
