I Must Confess

How I long for a love that understands,

A love who knows me; Deeply and intentionally.

Memorizing the canals of my body and mind, canoeing down my streams,

In search of the gate to my endless sea.

I’d become a current in his winding rivers just the same,

Where are you my love? My twin flame?

Someone I can hold onto, someone to claim.

A man who is not scared to dance with me in the warmth of spring rain;

Strong like the bull in my constellations map,

Soft like the humming songs of fall winds, I breathe deeply in.

Stuck to me like the thickening of pines bittersweet sap,

Entangled within each others arms and legs, my head on his lap.

Someone who asks on a Sundays eve, “Come lay in bed with me?”

I want my depth to be challenged and anchored far away from shore,

I want a love that has me gasping for air, and always knows when to give more.

Someone I can explore; Till I know each grain of sand on his oceans floor,

Each fiery star in his galaxy and every note in the songs he receives from above;

A love that only wants me – my souls core and does not ask for anything less,

This is the tantalizing love I dream of, I must confess.
