romance (4)

Because you need someone to feed you grapes.

During my first year in college, I sent a very poetic invitation to a boy I liked asking if he would like to join me for a bath, "Because you need someone to feed you grapes". One of my roommates had a disability, so we had the most accessible freshman dorm suite on campus: the only one with an actual tub. Fittingly, I made myself fully accessible to Seth that night.

He arrived and we got right into the bubbles and each other...we ate grapes and cheese and drank champagne. It was a very corny date with many cliches. Well, I suppose getting naked for your first date and conversation is not very cliche, but still...as college dating in the early 80's was concerned...it was filled with romance.

We both had a lovely evening, but neither of us had any interest in continuing the relationship after that. I didn't even bother to seek him out after discovering that he had given me crabs.

You found that spot.

You cast my light into shadow and yet it feels good.
Something in me rises to your height and is knocked back by your words,
Falling fast into throes of laughter, about myself.

You found that place.
That ticklish spot
That everyone fears will be a home to tears.

You have figured out my plan
To see you reflect glorious in me.
You are not responsible for my decisions.

You are free.
To be loved and nurtured by your own unique part of me,
Immersed in the flow of things known and unseen.

Attention takes many forms.
Like the shadow of the rock we were sure was a frog.
We look on it in mystery. Never knowing whether it will hop away, or sit waiting to be unfound.

Like my body.
Awaiting your hands.
Awaiting your language.

I know who you are.
You don't need to hide or fear
Your words, at least, will not hurt me yet.

They carry the scent of truth,
Like those beautiful hands of yours,
Just waiting to weave into my hair for the very first time.
