Please place your hands here
But with surety, not rushed
Bring a burning fire
casting eyes skyward
causes me to know
why i’m on this dirt
who is my first love
here upon this dirt
casting eyes to you
feeling i am felt
who is my great love
I want to save you
Or little pieces of you
So I may savor you
Little by little later
For lunch or the like
This is for you and not me
Not we, not us
Nor those or they
You are to know that you’re valued
And needed and good just as is
No more, no less ought there be
I step in and not too close
Hoping you’ll hear
You’re grand, but not with your ears
Maybe my forearms
Around your denim back
Will tell all that needs to be told
What that my heart decrees
Come chest to chest
To beat with yours ever so near
I will not release you
I’ll never release you
And all that I wish is your sigh
