Hold Me
Hold me.
Hold me one last time
within your strong brown arms
and red blooded heart.
Hold me to your chest
so fierce with lovely loyalty,
warmed by inclusion,
chilled by my exclusion.
Hold me this one last time
to remember all the hours and lifetimes before,
to fade from memory
aching days and nights alone
without becoming touched
on skin
in heart and mind
longing to live more fully in this body
worthy of our primal embrace.
Wrap your arms and legs and breath around me.
Hold me one last time
before I go
where we can never again
feel ourselves together
warm skin on warm.
Hold me in our love.
Hold me one last time,
forever.
