I Long To Be Yours

I long to be yours

Not for a day

Or an evening filled with haze.

Not like summer

That relents and gives way to fall.

But more like a breeze

That slips into you

To bare skin

Where you can feel me

Surround you

With love.

 

I long to be yours

Like the sand and the water

Lovingly stroking one another

Day after

Day.

Like the sun rises in the East

Morning after morning

With no question

Of whether it will do it again

Tomorrow.

 

I long to be yours

Like gravity keeps us pinned

To the Earth.

Or like the lake we enjoy

Year after year

Stays in the same familiar place

Looking very nearly the same

Each time we visit.

 

I long to be yours

For a lifetime

Or more

If I get the chance.

 

I Think You Should Kiss Me

After the storm I created has died down

You pace the floor until you can’t move

Then list my faults one by one

Yell at me for everything I’ve ever done wrong

To you.

We can create a list of my inadequacies

Then burn it in a ritual fire

Where you tell me it doesn’t matter

To you.

Then I want you to look into my blue eyes

Tell me how much you love me

Tell me everything will be alright

That I mean everything

To you.

Then I think you should kiss me

Hold my face in your beautiful hands

Press your lips to mine

So I can give my body and soul

To you.
