Someone to Know Me

At first it seemed shocking
but now the idea
tickles my tongue.
and intrigues my curiosity
beyond the ability
to rationalize or resist :

I want to live with you!

I want to wake
each morning
in your arms

comforted by your oddness

seduced by your knowledge
of my ways

I want to care for you

brush your hair
put lotion on you scars

and pet you at bedtime,
watching your eyes close slow
like a child's
heavy with the thousand things
that filled your day
