You inside of me July 2012


 I let you climb

 inside of me,

now I don’t know

 how to let you out,

 feeling you stir,

your breath coming

and going with my own,

 your heart beating

 as I struggle to contain you,

 this all-encompassing presence

 that fogs over my eyes

 and my thoughts and leaves me

 too full, too filled up,

you spilling out from my lips,

 from between my hips,

 your scent and taste

 coming into my mouth

and across my tongue.

I taste you and love every bit of it,

scared to death you might

 suddenly vacate me,

leaving me empty,

a husk absent any real purpose.

I let you climb inside of me,

 let you fill up my every pore

 until I do not know

which part of me is me

and which is you,

and I don’t care.
