LETTER TO A LOVER

 

So here we go again…

Upon all thoughts that secretly remain.

Grow with me patiently,

Reason with me greatly.

I have found the one for me,

I found the joy I fought for respectfully.

Now crown me with history,

Applaud this justice,

Involve your laws in my practice…

How did I dare stumble across greatness?

Ask me questions if you seek understanding.

Than I will tell you of how this became,

Love so wrong, I would lie saying this made me sane.

I would be lying if I told you I searched,

Such rawness never comes to those who seek,

But my words he heard me speak,

My joys he promised to keep…

So special he is,

And truly all he needs is me.

Can you truly say all of you understand and see?

Can you mentor what I have?

Though this is my gift for all the tears I have shed,

Of the sickening life I have led.

And as the heavens spoke, he fell onto my thighs.

Blinded by souls I have touched with my lies,

Invading bodies crumble from our sight,

Our love so effortlessly right.

I give my love to him as ripe as I know,

As innocent as the sun fooled by snow.

As blissful as time

Quite dangerous it could all be a crime.

But I need it

I breath it

I love it!

So wake me up when reality is a leader,

When sexuality is life’s teacher…

When society expects nothing,

And when our love means more than something.

Love me enough to forget,

Embrace me long enough to expel regret.

Be mine till time stands still

I need to be all you feel

All you could remember,

From your birth till the death of December.

Laugh, for I have brought smiles,

Be merry my dear lover

I am yours under these velvet covers,

And when you are reminded

Remember only me

Dream of what your heart has seen

Fall in-love with all the people you have been…

Love me and enjoy me,

And in time you will see

the love I give to you will set you free.
