Strange Sacred Feelings

I need you wild, 
intemperate, 
uninhibited, 
and free

I need your feelings of dread and frailties, 
stresses and uneasiness, 
bad dreams and complexities, 
defect and pity, 
outrage and disarray, 
tears and catastrophe.

I need to demonstrate to you how delightful your spirit is.
incredibly uncommon you are 
much love and thoughtfulness you merit 
I need the opportunity to cover up the barbed 
edge of your not really 
broken pieces and 
cherish you totally. 

I am hopeless romantic
who is afraid of real love. 
for you my adoration 
is sufficiently solid 
to eradicate the agony of your past 
relentless you from the vulnerability 
of the present and 
shield you from 
the revulsions without bounds. 

Nobody will kiss you as I do,
don't you know sweetheart? 
I inhaled life once again into you.
