Come to me…

Come to me with infinite softness

With your tender secrets

Expose raw hunger for expression

Come to me with eternal shyness

Coy actions and subtle smiles

Peeking out in the shadows of comfort

Come to me with sharp pain

Razor edges slicing and cutting

Society pressuring you into a silicone mold

Come to with an open heart

Ready to feel the warmth of love

Share the fire, the real spark of you

Come to me with spread arms

Let me envelop you with my acceptance

All is absolved without a word uttered

Come to me with your peace

Tumbling out of your grasp

Fingers made wide with panic

I welcome you home

To the safety of my heart

Enfolding you in safety blankets.
