Dec 2015
Residing in You
I am told that I
Cannot make homes
Out of
People
That skeletons are
Too fragile
To withstand
Every storm
Yet, I called you in
Late December
And deemed you my
Potential home
I like to believe
These words are what pulled
You back into
My atmosphere
Although it is said
That homes cannot
Be made out of
Beating hearts and irises
I am striving to
Turn your flesh
Into my
Dwelling place
Your eyelashes are
The blades of grass
On the lawn
Out front
Your ribs are
The staircase leading
To rooms waiting
To be filled
I'm turning your
Flesh into
Our living room
Carpet
Your bones are
The walls which
Keep the two of us
Safe
They said it couldn't
That it really
Shouldn't
Be done
But I'm making
Myself at home
In
You
For NM
