Roses

we lay in your bed like two dozen roses
lay waiting on a pillow for someone to receive
and your fingers drum to the beat of everlasting light
on my stomach
and it's so quiet, I focus on your breathing
until I hear you ask me
what's so special?
why do I want you?
And all I can say is
sometimes in life you meet people
or a person
just another individual
another human being
who is so magnificent in every
aspect of the word
and they don't know
and that's what's makes them so
in every
aspect
of the word.
