I wish I could peel back my wrapper,
Break apart the dark sweetness inside,
So that I might share it with you,
Allow you to take pleasure from me in a new way.
I wish you could taste my gift,
One deliciously decadent bite at a time,
So that it might be a part of you,
Allow you to organize your emotions as I do.
I wish I could get you addicted to me,
With my special allure, savoring my words,
So that you might crave me, need me,
Allow me to teach you how.
I wish I could entice you to use me,
To use my gift as if it were your own,
So that I might know what your heart feels,
Allow me to experience words dedicated to me.
I wish, sweet husband, that you’d devour me completely,
Leaving nothing behind but that pretty, shiny wrapper,
So that I might feel the freedom that lies within you,
Allow me to live inside of you, in your heart and soul.
I wish that, since that isn’t possible,
You would nibble on me at every opportunity,
So that I might experience love the way I can,
Allow us to enjoy the dessert that is us, often.
I know you feel me, in here, spinning and dancing, flipping and kicking. It is soooo much fun!! I hope you don’t mind.
I want you to know, I really like it when you sing. Especially the crazy songs you and bubbie make up. He’s funny!
When you swing or walk, I get real sleepy. But, I love it when you rock and sing. I hope you do that a lot. Forever.
I love it when Daddy tickles you. It makes me giggle, too. And when you stay up late talking. I like his voice, it’s nice.
I’m sorry about waking you up at night to give me milk already. I really like that stuff. It’s yummy. I’m also sorry that means you have to get up again to go potty… But I’m growing! I need my milk. And you may as well get used to it, now!
I can’t really be sorry about the other foods. You can blame me for your cravings, I’m ok with it. As long as you keep giving in when it’s something I really want.
I’m getting bigger, and I know sometimes I make you uncomfortable. But, it’s really cushy in here and makes me want to bounce. I know you like that too. Even if you complain.
I know, because you do it too. You play that fun, thumpy music, and dance around. When I’m born, I hope you’ll still bounce me like that.
I love you, momma. I can’t wait to see you. I bet you’re even prettier than I imagine.
And don’t worry. I don’t really like pale colors either. I bet we both look better in bright pink, anyway!!
Rubbing your neck and back, marking secrets on your skin with my fingertips, giggling and sighing softly when you guessed them, and pulling myself closer to you with each moment.
Eventually my warm body pressed against you, and wrapped around you, could send it’s own magical messages through you.
You could turn to touch my face and stroke my hair, whispering your bliss or gazing into my soul, entranced by my joyful eyes.
I could scratch through your beard, adoringly, until your eyes closed and complete contentment washed over you, leaving the sweetest smile on your lips.
We could make love and revel in it. Marinating in the pleasure of our lust and connection, enveloped in the exquisite perfection of each other.
We could stay in our bubble of passion until life forced our revival.
We could create our world however we want… force life to bend to our creation.
We could talk, dream, or luxuriate in that which only we share.
She longs to disappear, to the ocean, to the coast. Let salty air cleanse her weary heart. Feel the fine sand soothe her broken soul. Allow the tepid water to wipe her troubled mind. Send her spirit into the white capped waves, to escape.
She dreams of being free, nothing to tether her to this world or the next. Nothing making demands of her, no responsibilities to consider, no expectations to manage, no one to hurt her…
But no one to love.
Runaway… Run back home. Be loved. Be present. Be real.
