I dream we are making love
Your touch soft and so gentle
Like I am porcelain
So very slow and patient
Holding me close
My waist, my hip
The small of my back
Stroking my hair
Slowly, slowly
Tilting my chin to look in your eyes
To see your smiling, open love
And you seeing me
Kisses to my forehead
My eyes, my cheeks
My neck
The side of my mouth
At my temple you speak low
Saying the words you love me
You need me
Dilineating all the ways and whys
Kind words
Words of gratitude
I know they come with a price
For you it is difficult
Too vulnerable
To say words
But you do it for me
Because you know
Your words feed me
Move my energy
From outside in
And down, down
My heart opens
I make it worth it
You know I am yours
But still you ask
Permission
In low tones
We make small sounds
In the quiet
I shed tears I've been waiting
My whole life to cry
The good kind
I've always felt this love
From God
But I've longed for it
From you
You
Am I dreaming?
