steal me
if you please
have mercy on me and
forget these follies
frolicking
sheeplishly twisted
and covered with bed sheets
and waiting patiently
but shaking
gracefully immatured
and heart beating boldly
and in you come
with your swagger
curled up and waiting
I let myself open
craving impact
and feeling lack of
feeling the wind from the world
and not from your hands
so specially carved
so talentful
look past this moment
into the next and know
that when left alone
you need company
“you’re ignorance and bliss”
I think as I feel
finally fingers and
sink into
lowering once more
and knowing now that
bodies sing when
you play them
“this is what praying’s for”
says my mind’s I
as I feel god in your touch
and feel beautiful
it is you that makes the
beauty in me
when you seek me with
your eyes and your touch
you know me best
by using your hands
to guide your way and
to steal me
I tell you that
you make me beautiful
it is you, it is you
so steal me.
