Be With Me

Come sit by me 
Don't be put off 
by the hungry longing 
you spy in my eyes 
I won't devour you 
with my body 
What I desire is the 
meeting of minds 

I crave the pleasure 
of long conversations 
meandering through 
unknown paths 
stumbling upon 
surprising revelations 
immersing myself 
in your words 
losing myself 
in your silences

Let us bare not flesh 
but our hearts 
For now, it will suffice 
If it should ignite the spark 
we pretend to not notice, 
Well, then let's 
burst into flames 
together
