Strip me of my dignity and

Show me why you're into me

Polish my shoes

when you're

finished digging into me

Skip breakfast

snack on my flesh

Pick up

where we left off

Throw me on a boat

row me over a waterfall

Fall

deep

into my

soul

Skip the formalities

I want it all

Bring me home

Textures and textiles

Tell your friends

show me off

Touch my

 

skin

Twirl me up

in a whirlwind

I won't get dizzy - this time

Confidently

spinning webs with me

Over and under

barricades

crumbling

Nothing in-between us

but

energy

alchemy

Shifting into

one

melody

Tranquility

taking over

my

sanity

There is freedom

in knowing

YOU
