Milk and honey

Darling

You set my heart on fire

When you tell me

My skin is made of milk and honey

And all you want to do

Is taste its juicy sweetness

But this wild beating of my heart

Also skips partly with trepidation

For it is so long since I allowed

Anyone close enough to taste my skin

And there are still bruises hidden under the surface

That hold the pain of other times

The touch of someone close

Turned into a fist that broke heart and soul

Into a million pieces

So if I tell you this time

I want to take it slow

Please don’t think

There is not a fire burned deep inside

It just may take some time for me

To trust again

Surrender to your touch

Set my yearning longing

Free
