Love me as you would a free bird soaring the skies
Love me as you would a rose you nurture daily
Love me as you would a rainbow
after a storm,
Love me as you would the storm
Love me as you would the fierce passion of the sea
Love me as you would winters first snow flake
Love me as you would a tempting Tigress,
Love me as you would a wounded kitten,
Love me as you would a diamond
Love me as you would soapstone.
… But desire me, desire me as though you own the gasps
that slip across my tongue…
