What If?



If I were

swallowed
      by your gaze
drenched
      by your touch
marked
      by your teeth
      ever so lightly
danced
      in the rhythm of your step
exhaled
      like the thin smoky reed
      of your breath
thrilled
      at the precipice of your voice
dangled
      by a silver string that
      slowly
            unravels
                        from your tongue

If I were

embossed
     by the imprint
     of your surrender

would I
become whole?

    1. Thank you. There are previous incarnations of this poem I've shared. Perhaps the timeless message of one's becoming whole in the eyes of the other also rings true at our existential core.
