Let Me Love You

let me show you
IIIIIIIIIsky-high dreams of
IIIIIIIus, as your breath
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIshudders over
IIIIIIIIIIIImy skin
and the life that blossoms in
IIIIIIIIIIIyour presence.

let me tell you
IIIIIIIIIIabout sweat-soaked limbs
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIand sweet nothings
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIthat mean
IIeverything…
IIIIIIIIIand of summer days
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIspent in lip-lock.

let me hear you
IIIIIIIIIIIas you ramble on in
IIIIIIIyour sleep while I am stuck
IIIIIIIIIIon the brink between
sleeplessness and dreaming
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIand your secrets spill
IIIIIIforth because you
IIIIIIIIcan't hold them.

let me feel you
IIIIIIIIIIIIIand your imperfections
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIin the most
IIIIIIunlikely corners,
IIIIIIIIIwhere I can
IIIIIIIItouch you
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIand you gasp.

let me smell you
IIIIIIIIIIIIIin the worn old pillow
IIIIIIcases that bear the
IIIIIIIIIIIIIghost of your scent
IIIIIIIIIand reminders of you
IIIIIIIIIIIin the scent of
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIcinnamon.

let me taste you
IIIIIIIIIIin the lip-gloss taste
IIIIIIIIof your lips and
IIIIthe emotions hiding
IIIIIIIIIIIIIaway in your heart
IIIIIIIand your salty
IIIIIIIIIIItears on your
IIIIIIIIIIIIIrosy cheeks.

let me see you
IIIIIIIIIIas you,
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlayers peeled away
IIIIIIIlike an onion –
IIIIIIIIIit makes me cry as
IIIIIIyou're made into
IIIIIIIsomething
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIbeautiful –

yourself.
