Wearing Love

Tie your soul
around my wrist
like a rope of gold.
Put your words
around my neck
like a heart shaped locket
engraved with your name
etched like a thousand voices
speaking one and the same.
Let me wear your love
like a sweater to keep me warm.

Let it be so close to me
that I can feel it pressing.
Feel it pulsing.
Let my mind sense it like
it is woven around me.

Love is what I choose to wear.
Love is what I choose to share.

So if you want it too
let me tie my soul
around your wrist.
Let me put my words
around your neck.
Wear my love like a sweater
when you are cold
and need something better.
Love me and let me love you.
