A Secret Truth

Do you want to know a secret truth

I want to love each and every one of you

You want me to possess you and I want to listen

I want to give you aggressive kisses

That start passionate and slow

And build until it’s completely out of control 

To be love drunk under the sinking sun

And read the sonnets in the stars until it comes back up

Tangled in sheets, sleeping until two

Blow off all obligations and do it all again with you

To be lazy lovers on the couch

Rest your head on my stomach pouch

Grow old and rotund together

Wear out our mattress in the center

Autumn walks, dogs, hand in hand

Kitchen talks, eggs, favorite frying pan

Silly spats, make up sex, best of friends

Together forever, the end of ends

Crochet the fabric, create the afghan

Weave the string to cover our life span

All the intricate stitches of love

You hemmed together with me 

A colorful quilt - call it "us"

Do you want to know a secret truth

I want to love each and every one of you

But I can’t make my heart do what it refuses to
