de Vine submission

In the spring of my awakening I grew
Inside you, and inside myself
An insistent little vine of urgency
So very green

You wanted me there
And stroked my pliant leaves so that I might stay
You stood back, purposely out of reach
In appreciation of the budding

Arching my curiosity yet binding me at the core
You taught me to feed on the raw guts of desire
Your watering spout supplied just enough to quench me
Yet leave me thirsting for your unequalled nourishment

You groomed me in small, decisive ways
Though I thought the precision was quite torturous
I hungered for each, timed splicing
And pleaded for you to cut new ideas into me

Unfolding, twisting, curving to you
Coiled vines meeting and releasing your needs
Reaching deeper into your earth
Attaching loyalty there like forever roots
You grew me.
