you came in slowly like the fogand consumed me.

i'm so hookedon how your mind works,on what you notice,on everything that excites you.i'm so caught up inhow you see the world,how you see everythingand still offer up your lovefor all to take it.you give me a glimpse of your heartand i can't tell youhow much you turn me on.

i swallowed the syllables of your nameand i was full.

the opening,the breaking,the falling apartis always so quick.the hurting,the healing,the putting back togetheris always too long.

i over love.i under love.i am either a floodor i am nothing.

show me all the parts of youthat you do not loveso i know where to begin.

love is my thighs,this belly,my eyes.love is my speech,the search,my cry.love is myself in the mirror.i will see love every time.

hold company with yourself so sacredthat even when you are alone,you are whole.

i am a womanand i am alone,and i cannot tellwhich one of the twoi love being more.
