Marvin Gaye

baby i want to light up your wires

light you up like a sparkler in the midnight sky

darlin it don't matter to me

the imperfections life has given you

they melt together in your eyes

that cast that you've been wearing

reaching straight up to your hip

i don't like you being a prisoner

at least one that i don't have the key

get out my scissors and open you up

can't stand the plaster inhabiting your skin

i watch you crumble

turn to dust which covers my fingerprints

coat you like flour

open your petals like flower

let the healing begin

I love Marvin Gaye too
I sense a longing and a feeling of devotion
in your poem. Wanting someone to heal
physically and emotionally too.
Such a loving poem
full of empathy.
