I’m starting to feel braver.
I am ready to reach out again.
Here I find myself asking if we could allow our love to begin.

I want to leave soft kisses where rough hands have been.
With your permission, I would like to pull you close to me and trace the curvature of your skin.

If our desires do align, it is my hope that we would take our time,
To savor every nibble and every bite.
Passion is after all, such a wonderful delight.
With your hand in mine, we can entwine
As we step onto the path to the divine.

I know this is a place where dark shadows may loom
Believe me, I have seen them too
But this could be something new, this could be a chance to bloom
Petal by petal, I ask for a chance, to melt into you like warm rays of sun
I can hold all of you, without crushing a single bud.
