'tis not meant to be forward-fresh-unladylike
it's an emptiness that needs to be filled
just for awhile
handmade, short silk kimono
mint colored with tiny cream-colored flowers
cream colored chemise underneath...
hair natural, barely curled
cascading down my back
your choice, the song
just enough of a beat to sway
no distance between us
let me lean into you
so I will feel safe
tension fading, knowing I am
all right just as I am
can you smell the hint of lemon in my hair?
feel my arms around your waist
head on your chest, at ease...at ease has been ghostlike, a teasing spirit
may I lose myself in your strength?
eyes close, heart open
just for awhile to feel pretty and lovable and love back
no tears fall
sigh of yes...the yes of acceptance
me of you, you of me
just as we are
not perfect, not imperfect
just as we are
"...and like a blessing come from heaven
for something like a second, I was healed and my heart was at ease."
Leonard Cohen
