Someone to Know Me

At first it seemed shocking
but now the idea
tickles my tongue.
And intrigues my curiosity
beyond the ability
to rationalize or resist:

I want to live with you!

I want to wake
each morning
in your arms

comforted by your oddness

seduced by your knowledge
of my ways

I want to care for you

brush your hair and,
put lotion on your scars.

Pet you at bed time
watching your eyes close slow
like a child's.
Heavy with a thousend things
that filled your day
