Pull me into your den Where the fall of my abandoned fear Triggers an avalanche of frozen feeling. Rip down my shield of pretty lies and jeweled defenses. Expose my cautious heart to the wild flames of your thunder. Drench me in your vault of warm honey Until I drown And have to find new lungs to breathe in here. Drag me in no matter what I say, No matter how quickly I escape Or how cleverly I dress myself into safety. Capture all my petty movements away from You Only my childish doubts are threatened by this brilliance. And I am so amused watching them wither like old vines No longer alive with life’s syrup. Though it is dangerous to keep opening this way And this perilous breeze of radiance relentlessly changes direction. I am hopelessly addicted to intimately following its course. It sounds like falling leaves from here. My reasons to stay are even more insubstantial. The unshrouded shine in your eyes The impossible wetness of your lips Old ways and habits Seem like dear familiar, Though distant friends. Turning away now for even a moment Bruises my skin and leaves beautiful scars From strange surgeries that heal my wounds in the night. Let me wake by you in the morning. Open me again. Keep opening me forever. ~~~Amara Charles~~~
