LOVE ME

Love me,

Love me like the fish love the waves,

The waves of the vast ocean,

Playing along,

Embraced tightly,

Yet not engulfed,

Neither strangled, 

Nor imprisoned;

Love me like the air,

Like the soft breeze loves,

Loves every pore of my chest,

Running through every vein

And nerve,

Filling up with new life,

A new love everytime,

Neither suffocating,

Nor throttling;

Love me like the doors 

Of my lonely house,

Whose hinges swirl

And sing to the chambers

Of my lonely heart,

Calling out to me,

Looking for me,

Never scary,

Nor frightening;

They laugh and sing 

With me and my silence,

So much in love,

Just like the fish and waves,

Like the soft breeze ,

Rekindling the passions,

In my breathless chest ...
