Seeing Me

Your words weave spells round me
Drawing me towards you
Gently soothing and steadying me
I shut them out
Too afraid to believe their truths
Closing myself against your onslaught

Your hands cup my face
Your eyes look deep into mine
Searching for the person hidden inside
I close my eyes
Hiding that person from your sight
Too scared to let her out to play

Your hands move down my throat
Lovingly stroking and squeezing
Teaching me that I should trust you
I swallow convulsively
Offering my neck as a gift
Wanting to trust you with my entire being

Your words leave subtle marks
Breaking through my barriers
Tenderly easing my fears
I hear them
Yearn to believe them
Craving the surrender they require

Your hands all over my body
Leaving a feverish trail in their wake
Evoking veiled desires and hidden passions
My body responds instinctively
Pulling you closer and deeper
As I allow myself to cede control

Your hands cup my face
Your eyes look deep into mine
Searching for the person hidden inside
I open my eyes
Revealing to you that scared self
Permitting you to see all of me

Your words weave spells around me
Patiently showing your true side
Easing my distrust and earning my trust
I embrace them
Reveling in your openness
Inviting you into my sanctuary
