When I give to you out of my love
it feels as though I were getting
permission? assurance? a green light?
acceptance? security? a bond of trust?
an ‘it’s okay’? a right of way?
safe passage? safe harbor? a guide? a guard?
no, none of these, or all of these and more,
to love as deeply as I myself am deep,
to love to the furthest depth of my soul,
and because my love and my loving is me,
to be me, to express myself and selfishly show myself,
to place you, my loving of you -me, to place us, above other constraints;
when I give to you, because you are you,
it feels as though I were getting
home.
