i want
to be
touched
in
a
way
that sends
little
vibrations
down
my
spine
remind
me
again
that
i’m alive
bite into me
like
a piece
of
fruit
taste me
let my
flavor
dribble
down your
chin
and tell me
how
sweet i am
lick
my
lips
to
moisten
them
send me
to the moon
make me see stars
make me
forget
just
for
a moment
that my
sad
little
world
is on fire
i’ll
show you
what’s inside
if you
promise
not to
hide
or cry
or run
or fight
i want
to be
seen
for what
i truly
am
in the light
let your
eyes
set me
free
and we’ll
see
things
together
in a new way
for
the
first time
His reply poem:
I want to see you too
I want you to see
How I see you
To taste your face
And your drippings too
To slide between
Your layers
Lubricate your dreams
Birth them
Into reality
Painstakingly
Remove
Your shattered
Bone fragments
And boil them
To a broth
To heal our
Ailments
Fill your voids
Before you are
Destroyed
By the deep
Longing
To join the
Non-living
Dive
Headfirst
Into your deep
Lacerations
Make them
Rejuvenated
With *******
Murmurations
While embraced
In amplexus
Complex
Proliferation
Of a life only
Dreamed of
Let me
Scoop out
Your tired eyes
Live in a cloud
And do crimes
And rain down
From warm skies
To melt the
Icy confines
Of a past
That doesn't
Make sense
To move into
A future
Where
things
Make even
Less sense
But feel
Like
Real
If only
For a minute
