Can You Let Me
Be Me?
Be that me that only you can see
Let me say what I want
Feel what I need
Let my heart fall out
Watch as I unbutton slowly and step out from behind
the cover of kindness
Run your cold metal key along my armor and expose my
gentle flesh
Can You?
Can you let me be the me I sometimes need to be?
Will you run your tongue along my steel
Let me shimmy and warm to your touch
Hold my head while I tell you that I’m tired….
Tired of being strong
A fighter
Tough enough.
Can you let me tuck myself into you
Nurse from your soft and full nipple
Remind me that I don’t care what they think
Hold me tight while I writhe and curse
Plant your calloused thumb across my lips
Touch me just enough to inspire my legs, mind and
heart to spread
Can You?
Will You?
Won’t You…
Please, I need you more than you know
Now
Tomorrow
Yesterday
Five seconds ago…
I need You
Now
Hold me
Fill me
Reassure me
Feed me
Feel me
Use me....
Kiss me goodnight
Can You?
Soon......
Samantha, this post is brilliant... simply, absolutely, and ingeniously brilliant...
ReplyDeleteI can't conceal my wish to set this to music... may I? (ok if not)...
oh and what vintage De Montille?
I've only had the chance to taste on a few occasions... what a wine...
great post!
Can't think of a better way to describe the seductive silk of Volnay wines.
ReplyDeleteJeremy,
ReplyDeleteOf course you can set it to music, feel free sweetheart and thank you so much for the enthusiasm. The vintage on the Montille is a 2004, a magnum...dude. Been embarrassingly fortunate to drink lots and lots of De Montille in the past 10 years and I can say without hesitation it is one of my favorite Burgundy houses. Congratulations again to you and Tracie on the lovely Lila!
Thomas,
Well hell love, what a humbling comment. Thank you.
My Gorgeous Samantha,
ReplyDelete"Watch as I unbutton slowly and step out from behind the cover of kindness."
Simply, that's worthy of the greatest poet.
What a lovely gift you have, Samantha. Thank you for sharing it so openly and beautifully here.
Until...
I love you!
Anything i could say would be pathetically inane. You have a true gift.
ReplyDeleteRon My Love,
ReplyDeleteYour words are once again far too generous but I love you for trying. Waiting Until and I love you too!
Webb,
Dunno lady, those words melted me so I think you are doing just fine.
Samantha, It was a pleasure to meet you today! Thank you for your advice. What a brilliant allegory!.
ReplyDeleteKeith,
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice meeting you and helping you pick some wines this afternoon. Thank you so much for coming in and please forgive my pink cheeked response to your telling me you hang around this silly place of mine. Always throws me...flatters the hell out of me but throws me. Enjoy those wines and be sure to tell me what worked and didn't for you! Thanks again for all your kind words...means the world to me.
That stepping out of the cover of kindness gave it a whole new spin, and did not make me think of poetry. More like crushing a two-seater vat of mourvedre. purty good.
