i hope ill do

I am the tree

away from the rest

I sit in a clearing

watching the moon undress

 

behind me the sun

tells of its goodnight

as it goes to rest

and whispers to me

sleep tight

 

and I am the tree

for tonight not alone

as you look for comfort

news from your phone

 

and I understand

that concern

but you are here

and for you I burn

 

the skies pink hues

reflect my blushing core

but as you surprise me

I can only want more

 

and to the river you take me

and I know in my heart

that this is where I wish to be

taken away at humid dark

 

being with the one

I can truly trust
not a thing
I wish
to even adjust

 

im not a bit bashful

as I remove my clothes

and into that river

we both go

 

and I listen

watch

feel this flow

and gaze at you

and just know

 

that this is special

I cannot deny

and heat and tension

wash over me
a sad bit of me dies

 

im in this river

this moment with you

confused with goodness I am

yeah that's all you

 

giggling with enjoyment

for you do know

that this is new territory

you take me

and I just go

 

for trust is a river

of heat and chill for me

but my love

I know its here I choose to be

 

and time goes quick

but all recorded

in my heart

through my eye

the thoughtfulness im accorded

 

I refuse to allow

the following day

to taint this evening

in any way

 

and you took me on

a magical ride

and I came out

realising I had no need to hide
no doubt

 

and you saw close up

the private me

of shyness

patience

thoughts ticking through

 

you enjoyed it

me away from comfort

understanding

I came willingly

thrillingly

along this road

 

but to be honest

I do not know what you see

but seeing your amusement

amuses me

 

im teased open

with expert hands

over hot tea

walks

talks

looks

books

observationally

 

and love so strong

built brick by brick

built slowly
yes

but runs quick

 

and strong enough for me to know

that if im too much

id want better

let you go

 

for the best is what I want for you

but in my heart

ill hope ill do
