sharing space
with another
honestly
requires more than love
it’s a willingness
to let go
of one’s shield
diligently erected
a wanting
to feel the richness
of another’s essence
perhaps damaged
a deep need
to be enmeshed
on all the levels
partners wish to be seen
it’s a pact
for the happiness
of the other
in this dance of two beings
sweet caresses
and a knowing
of the internal
transports us
to our world
the day-to-day chaos
calm
we’ve escaped
to bliss and harmony
the place
which is golden
we’re home
love hot
then awry
smooth and gellin
then rage and yellin
deep expressions of amore
trampled hurt feelings are telling
of the up, down, left, right, inside and out
this relationship changes at a fever pitch from good to bad and back
let me get off this ride
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #90
communicating
a promise to each other
I will work with you
All the steps I take
for your comfort
I do without complaint.
You deserve my love
and attention,
you shall not have to wait.
May my efforts sustain you
and this commitment
be your protection.
I’ll keep you from harm,
ensuring your growth.
And I’ll rise to meet you.
When I make the effort
to dig deep
into who you are,
know you are loved.
In awe,
inspired,
captivated,
interested,
dazed,
uplifted.
Yes, in love with your being.
I’ll align myself
up close,
breathing in your talent
and exhaling
knowledge and pride.
You’ve won my heart.
The gift of time, effort, and quality is love.
Intimate sincerity landing softly in the heart.
I’m not receiving what you think you’re giving.
Maybe you don’t understand what love is?
Maybe I don’t know how to receive it?
Maybe I expect too much?
Maybe you don’t give enough?
Maybe I was wrong?
soothe an ache
hold my hand
watch me sleep
rub my back
make me laugh
be with me
talk to me
play with me
dry my tears
keep me warm
listen to me
don’t be arrogant
kiss my lips
really know me
get me soup
touch without expectation
ease my sorrow
hug my soul
cry with me
dance with me
please be vulnerable
make eye contact
forgive my failings
care for yourself
sex me right
cook us dinner
walk with me
don’t lie, ever
read to me
hold me close
silence my demons
reach into me
never leave me
There’s comfort as I bathe in your loyalty.
I can count on your faithfulness to the script we are writing.
This love story of commitment and devotion is like none other.
I adore your dedication to our cause.
I can depend on you, my reliable partner.
You’ve been steady, for the most part.
True to me, for the most part.
A constant when the world wasn’t.
My staunch champion, solidly there for me.
I think you can be trusted.
