Loving Who Needs Loving

i bask in the nudity of your essence, never knowing where to place my hands; seeking the sighs of permanent pleasure and never being able to unlove you- for you are my new-born butterfly, slipping into a kaleidoscope of monarchs, feeling what needs feeling healing what needs healing i am enraptured by the flavor of you- i taste each embrace as it nourishes my starvation hungry for what i CRAVE daily… you and you alone- with me by your side feeding what needs feeding repeating the love we are needing i am boundless when you are near, fervent and restless to reach for more- i searched and searched ~YOU found ME~ frail and barren like a winter willow weeping for the loss of her blades; seeding what needs to be sown then weeding what shouldn't be grown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2.12.20

You had me at 'nudity'... just kidding! Love all the imagery of relationship building. I particularly appreciate the refrains with the slight variations each time, building towards the feeding / seeding / weeding metaphor. A glorious write, Lu Loo. Congrats on your win.
