kiss the lips
of the man

you love so

you would curl hands into fists
and fight for them

you would sit by their side
until they were better

you would hold them
for however long
they mourned
.
kiss the lips
of your man
who leaves you
flying
as they leave for work

soaring because
they love you so
.
kiss their lips
linger
feel
remember

never forget
he brings
you
peace
acceptance
protection

kiss their lips
hold
taste

---

i love you so

so so much

your lips
i remember
your taste is
my most favourite thing

do you center your life
around the dream

that a home could one day
be built
with two minds

.

do you center your life
around the desire

that the dark walls
and leather couch
could be ours

.

do you center your life
around the hope

that being singular could
still grant you these wishes

a single income
your foundation
to light your fantasies

.

to build a shell
your very own
even without
that someone else

.

in my wildest dreams
my home is full
of you and of me

.

coming together
an ecosystem
of our own making

.

i dream of us
our home
our things
everywhere

.

even if you left
i would still go forth
and build

.

build, build, build

until i could close
my door
sit in my house

.

even if that means
being all by myself

know you are extraordinary.
like you know the answer to
"what is your name?"

know it without a second thought.

harvest the crop,
of this truth.
ooze into this world,
your version of brilliance.
