be live

open your arms to me
when i crawl into
your nuzzle chest

hug me by firelight
with limbs and legs entwined
in safety's strong
embrace

enter me
convincingly
and always
gently
as when you slid
inside of me last evening
(i arched my back
in urgent lust)

did you feel your length
knock against
my heart?

darling, i fear it:
if you knew about the
crevice there,
up into which
you've found a
secret way...
might you off then
on some new quest?
might you stop then
with white flowers and
fish dinners? with
sudden explosive laughter
and violent love songs?

i have been warned:
your feelings are fickle
and you've seen how swiftly
i can head out on my way--

realize please
that i came back to seek you out
and as i do...
believe....
