Be it a husband and wife or two lovers...they have to be friends first.
You cannot have a solid foundation of a relationship if you're not friends.

I've Got Wings

I could fly away
from you,
but you clipped them, didn't you?
You want me
to be caged.
This is how you like me.
Flightless.
Without hope.
But they do grow back, you know.
These are the secondary feathers that have no blood vessels so you can't really hurt me or keep me
flightless.
I can still fly and I can still navigate and find my way
past you.
I can find
my way
home.

I want to be clean
Ten thousand men in your hair
I want my skin
I want the lights to shine
But I know this way of the boar
Ten thousand years in your shadow
I won't walk alone in these forests
Without the beast that follows me
Territories and pine needles
To stab my breaking heart
Your hollow-cheeked love
My creature fear

Fondling with care
Always in your shoes
Teaching you life
Hosting you to your aim
Elevating you with pain
Revelling in your growth

Happy Father's Day !
