Inner child spilling out and free
unchecked by filtering sentinels
you learn to stand head forward
no longer peeking over shoulders
only looking back to see how far you've come
in recent days of opening widely more lovingly
and that is where you float now in my heart
untethered even though I love you so
for in my love there is no room
for holding you against the sweetness of your will
even as you perch upon the precipice of possibilities
knowing even I would help you fly away
with a heart full of loving tears
joyful even in my sorry to see you go
because it would mean I have let you mend your wings
in the quiet harbor of my heart where the water is warm and still
you can reflect there now as you consider your steps
as I consider the softness of your sweet approach
that I feel glowing like shimmering candy before me
tempting my imagination to touch you more deeply
though daring not to uplift the foggy shroud completely
for I wish to see your virgin face uncovered by your hand
naked within the reach of kisses I beg you to accept
as I lavish your hand with a loving touch
seeking a ring to fit your heart's desire
and a wife to match my dreams
forever in our timeless womb
where love is born anew
in each breath that we
share in silent embrace
and complete surrender
