Write Me

Read me, tonight 
delicately; I'm fragile. 
Read me tenderly,
thoroughly; try to 
understand.

Gaze, 
head to toe, 
over and into my heart, 
my soul; see me. 

Share your discovery; 
speak softly, sweetly, 
passionately. 
Let lips and tongue 
work together in unison, 
vocalizing all I long to hear. 

As hands attentively express, 
reveal your vision, 
fountain flowing freely, 
fully, instinctively.
Confide truths onto vellum; 
stain this parchment with care.
 
Read me, completely, 
honestly. 
Then, write me, 
as I become aware.
