i would ask you for a simple “i do”
if that’s all i wanted
but there is no certificate
or ceremony
that could weld my soul to yours
fuse together the aura of you and of me
i would hand you my heart on a plate
let me birth your offspring
give me your every morning, hair messy
i need your each night, teeth brushed
you are my water
my air
marriage holds no candle
i haven’t posted on here in years. haven’t written any poetry either. if you were here for my poem about finding little hairs in the drain, this poem is about the same woman, years later. i never thought i would be here this long or have this much love in my life.
