Myself Unto You
A poem about love, vulnerability, and accepting a painful past.
I came to notice a tiny scar on the inside of your thigh
A freckle of the past, waiting to tell its story
I listened closely, secrets carousing through the canal
A creature after my own heart, how beautiful
Uncontrollable urge, giving in
I kissed the rigid smooth reminder
A tiny, fearful moan escapes
I can't take that chance again
Craving the secrets you're scared to show
Placing my ear gently down
The symphonic journey continues to serenade
Tears roll down, creeping closer to the upturned lip
This pot of gold, worth more than anything
The beauty you hide is so intoxicating
I need you
A gentle kiss escapes me again
Help myself, I cannot
Paused, waiting for the sounds of waking
None rang out
Lips quivering, fire running through my veins
I ache for more of your hidden soul
Silhouettes passed through my mind
Painting the pictures of your life
That smile, where had it gone?
Never before seeing it, I wondered how it could have been taken
So strong, so unshakable
Shivers running through me, I could love you forever
This scar, unlocking your defenses
Sharing my heart with you, showing intentions true
Ecstasy parading through us
Painting my own memories
Colouring the canvas internal
Hidden treasures displaced across the threshold
Trading yours for mine
No more secrets, everything without words told
Laying in the embrace
Our true eyes speak, no more barricades set
Slipping off to sleep
Breathlessly spoken
I love you
