touch

How do you know when your heart is ready?
You who long to be touched
with love and kindness.
Deeply and tenderly.
You who yearn to be cared for
Honoured and seen.
In all of your vulnerable nakedness…
Come lay down here
Breathe into the wanting
Move beyond the fear.
Awake to the desire.
Surrender to the pain and trembling pleasure
Release into ecstasy and serenity
Embrace intimacy
Be fragile and powerful
Come, come, come
Rest your body here next to me
I touch you
Feel you
Lay my hands on your head, heart, cock
And all the parts of you
With nothing more or less than Love
Now with all the courage within, say to yourself
“Oh yes, my heart is ready.”
