“Someone To Know Me”
At first it seemed shocking
but now the idea
tickles my tongue
and intrigues my curiosity
beyond the ability
to rationalize or resist:
I want to live with you!
I want to wake
each morning
in your arms
comforted by your oddness
seduced by your knowledge
of my ways.
I want to care for you
brush your hair
put lotion on your scars
and pet you at bedtime,
watching your eyes close slow
like a child’s
heavy with the thousand things
that filled your day.
