Wish List

Wish List

I want to be the global warming

to your glacier heart

so we can float with fluent

access to a current of love

I want to be the investment

you make that curbs

the spending of your tears

an account of fluid funds

with a happy balance

besetting the inflation of sorrow

I want to be the trigger

for a mass shooting of tenders

keeping your heart safe

against the perils of invasive torment

the bullet proof vest protecting

you from return fire

I want to be the sunshine in your coffee

when cream clouds configure

to disarray your proud manner

and incite uncertain fervor

when the fever breaks the back of temerity

I want to be the teachings

of a philosophy of acceptance

and trust

that you might garner

if you allow me

to stand next to you

into future fitful bliss.

A wish list here which is a recipe for some wonderful togetherness and a whole lot of loving. Really nice metaphors J. Acceptance and trust incredibly important in a relationship. Your third stanza is so creative and stands out. A great poem for sure.
