He asked me,
‘What do you want?”
Intimo spirito moto sapio sensualis…naturalis
The rawness of being softly nested
within the confidence of true friendship.
An intimate friend who is free to love and experience life’s joys…and sorrows.
Feelings aside,
are we compatible? Can we
allow each other the space
to have a tough day–
and be with
the inevitable lows that
come from being human?
Without the need to fix, change or control; can we
still be present within
ourselves
in each other’s company without
disconnecting and checking out
even if we are in time out?
Does this make sense?
Can we stand on our own solid ground and yet still stand by each other’s side? And can we together build a strong foundation that will stand the tests of time.
Without so much emphasis on the “us”
can we just be “you” and “me” and patiently
allow the “us” to grow up together naturally,
overtime without so many expectations or
forcing a certain shape?
What does the container of “relationship” look like to you?
A woman who stands on her own
isn’t so easily swept off her feet
in a torrent of feelings. She doesn’t
rush in over her head
falling in love—only to be
knocked down and washed up
on disappointment’s shore.
She is steady
within herself knowing—
the constant ebb and flow of
life is a rhythm she dances…and she, determined
waits patiently for love’s unfolding is so worth waiting patiently for.
She senses the movements of heaven and earth feeling within her own body the expansion of galaxies exploding stardust into all she touches…softly…tenderly caressing the last rays of sunlight on your cheek before quietly pulling you into her warm embrace… gently kissing the moon.
