Speak to me
Of your needs and sweet longings
For if you hold back your wants
I will never learn
How to master the dance between us
That must contain the authentic steps
Of two individual lives
Ask for what you need
Like a leaf parched
And let the waters of caring
Help us bloom
Knowing that it is too soon to know now
The direction of it’s unfolding
Without the passing of seasons and many suns
Dare to ask for what you need, my dreamer
And risk discovering that your needs will be met
Or keep silent until a wall grows between us
Like vines of needs
That if not tended
Will take the bloom off
The garden of new love
