Love Poem: Shine On Me

Shine On Me

Shine on me 
Showcase me 
Embrace me 
Encase me 
Risk your life to save me
Envelop me 
Face-to-face me
Fix your gaze on me
Examine me 
Taste every bite of me 
Skin-on-skin with me 
Lay waste to me
Disparagingly disgrace me
Inflame me
Incinerate me to ash
Hide the Remainder
To wear in a vial in your pocket later.

Enmesh me until you 
Outer-erase me
Eat the flesh on me
Don’t stop until
You’re completely full
And wanting more
If you’re hungry 
Or thirsty
I’m always 
Here for You.
Always.
