tender confessions

 
blooming thoughts of a tender nature
I shy away from the intimacy found there
you touch me deeply in my shadow dwelling
where I rest in the shade
because the light of you is so stunning

you uncover my secreted truths
layer by layer you see my scars
you love me when I adore you
you love me more when I crave

darkness peaks inside of me
challenging me to be completely honest
you reward me then abstain when I'm withholding
sweet confection are my confessions

I reveal myself then cover up
I blush wildly in my nakedness
knowing you see such more than I do

gentle affections and I'm beaming
I feel you there, in the soul of me
