Wrapped

I saw you dreaming the starry skyIn the morning as I crawled from our bedYour legs wrapped in creamAnd a sunbeam dancing across your hipsWhen we love, when we embrace, where do our embraces lead?  To disheveled streets and imperfect connections, longing and hope wrapped in who we want to be reflected in each other’s eyes.  I see those eyes before me, and the mirrors show me so many me-s.Show me the strength you seeIn me when I become your mate and masterYour legs wrapped in dreamAnd my sunshine holding your starry skyI am sitting today with mental health, with diagnoses and not being diagnosed.  Madness and genius wrapped up in each other with a sigh, longing for normalacy and detesting the notion in the same breath.  I breathe between tears and fears, and his eyes catch mine.Forgiveness comes in so many formsIn the bowl of cereal you offer upYour legs wrapped in steamAnd sunrays caught fresh from the showerAnd so here I am on the roller coaster again, and the clowns dance by.  I will be your calming force, you will be my rock, and together we are better for it.  Let my eyes help you be the best mine and more you have the capacity to be… for you have so much capacity.We have so much work and life aheadIn the world at large or tucked awayYour legs wrapped around mineWe will break the molds and build anew
