I’m Ready

I’m ready to get drunk on kisses—

So intoxicated the room spins when I rise,

Dizzy with the taste of love on my lips,

Stumbling, laughing, falling right back into you.

I’m ready to giggle with you in the tub,

Wine in hand, bubbles clinging to our skin,

Letting the day dissolve in warmth and quiet joy.

I’m ready to be loved

With the same devotion I give—

A love that mirrors, reflects, and multiplies,

Expanding like ripples in water, endless and true.

I’m ready to explore the deepest parts of myself and another,

To trace each unspoken story in the lines of your hands,

To unravel truths in a space where nothing needs to hide.

I’m ready to wrap myself around your soul,

To be the quiet reassurance, the unwavering presence,

A sanctuary where you can lay down your armor,

Knowing you are safe, seen, and endlessly held.

I’m ready to love you so deeply

You feel it in your bloodstream,

In your bones,

A presence not consuming,

But imprinted in your very being—

As natural and undeniable

As the way the sky cradles the stars.

I’m ready to love in a way that lingers,

In whispered names carried by the wind,

In fingertips that remember the shape of home,

In every heartbeat that echoes my own.

I’m ready—

For love that is wild and steady,

Soft and strong,

Crazy and beautiful,

Healthy and whole.
