Don't touch me
For I am not yours
You do not have the privilege
To see my softer side
You do not have the key
to see my soul arise
in my eyes
The connection is not there
And therefore you are prohibited
Don't touch me
Don't touch me with your hands
Firm I stand in my own space
My heart is delicate as lace
and it belongs to him
It belongs to us - and only us
The universe marries
Explosions and bursts
The touch from his look
His embrace never searches
It always finds home
Our hearts magnetic
Over land and beyond the seas
Through the valley
amongst the trees
Our love reaches and always finds
This love so gentle
This love so kind
Every kiss I plant upon his face
Ten times returned
A soulmate's affection
His eyes they dive
Into my soul
from miles away
My story is told
In his heart, my love resides
In his hands, I'm safe inside
no ego, no fortress,
no pride to divide
The waters flow easily
The flowers bloom meekly
Fragile - they are like my love
My garden gate
Only his admission
Opens at his presence
the perfect submission
The signs in my eyes
Restriction from my stance
Do not touch
Do not enter
Into my lover's land

“Coming Season”©️11/02/2024 1:23pm

Come shower me with love
Rain all over me
and watch me as I bloom
Spread your seed
during spring time
Fill every part of me with joy
hear my love swoon
As you make room
While your hands toil
In the soil of my garden
So moist,
as you dig deeper and deeper
The trenches you build
Forward
Backwards
Forward
deliver flowing rivers
Splashing as the force kisses
Every textured surface
Pull my vines and caress the moss
Butterflies depart as we welcome
The coming season
Sprouting buds
As serenity heightens
Strong thunder
Pulsating showers
Enwreathed in flowers
Fields of plenty
The sky now lightened
Rest now among the fields
you watered
While I embrace you in ivy
My love, you will always find me
waiting for your coming season
