You wrapped your arms
around my body and
tucked yourself deep
inside of me
today.
You planted all of your kisses
across the expanse of
my skin and tied my
soul with your eyes
today.
You trapped me in your gaze — observing and worshipping
me — and big, muscular and lumbering me dwindled
into a dainty daisy in front of you
today.
Previously whole, my perfection
was now coming undone
at the seams
today —
I stood before you heavily soaked
in what was not nervousness but
was a comfortable shyness. You
were so excited to see me, to be
with me, to breathe me in.
You held and
beheld me
today.
It felt like love. I
felt the love
today.
