breath dance

love
you are a bare heartbeat away,
and i can feel you
wrapped inside me,
and why does the white inside
float to those raw spots,
there to lay comfort still
until the arms you thought too tired,
reach up haltingly,
to circle me uncertainly.
do not ask me what you have done,
do not speak as if love
was a matter of something earned
or deserved and certainly not bought.
I give to you
because I can not even dream
of what it would be
to not love you.
So lie with me love,
not for the sake of fire,
not for the need of flesh,
but because I need to breath you
like the sweet smoke
of a temple prayer.
Teach me.
Again.
