an old poem

called "Vulnerable..."

i confess, i proclaim
when i say his name,
when he touches me,
i feel that blissful pain of vulnerability,
all control just pulled apart,
opens me up and steals my heart
like it's being carried away in a gust of spring,
like it grew wings
and danced around me like a butterfly,
like a girl that's shy
but lives some secret life of courage and love,
like a promising dove
and a fluttering message that truth will come,
like earth succumbs
and the sun reigns true
and deigns my stolen heart will hear your cue,
like whispers across the deep blue ocean,
as it's you who set this all in motion,
as if this end you always knew...
i swear that i will fall in love with you.
