As I ask…

Dress me slowly,  

for I find myself in a rush.  

 

Smile with me,  

for I carry the weight of loneliness.  

 

Share your thoughts,  

for I will believe in every word.  

 

Recite me a poem,  

for I long to hear your voice.  

 

Speak of science,  

for I feel like an artist lost in creation.  

 

Take me under your wings,  

for I struggle to find my way.  

 

Fill me with music,  

for I cannot dance without your rhythm.  

 

Caress my forehead,  

for worry clings to my brow.  

 

Tell me of love,  

for I stand here, incredulous and yearning.  

 

Offer me your hand,  

for I seek your strength to carry me.  

 

Let me see your face,  

for I am lost in the dark.  

 

Offer me a drink,  

for I thirst for your presence.  

 

Concede your love,  

for my heart is overflowing with affection.  

Is it too much to ask?

Balance

A most poignant writing encompassing reciprocal love. 

No ego. No judgement. Simple understanding of the hearts' needs.
