| they are made of
he took my hand
in his
and brought it
to his lips
and kissed it
delicately
and let his lips
brush the lilacs
that i have
for fingernails
for a moment longer.
“ don't you worry.
i am here. i will use
all my strength against
anybody who tries
to rip these petals
from your body. ”i took his other
hand in mine
and kissed it
just as delicately
and looked into
his eyes
and then shielded mine
against the sunshine
of his love.
“ don't you worry.
i know you are here.
but before you judge
the flowers on my skin
try knocking my bones
to confirm what they
are capable of. ”pure solid gold |
