Open as a flower

naturepoliticstimelove

Open as a flower

Spread out

Petals wide enough to envelop

The sun

When the time comes

To steal a little bit

Of daylight

It will illuminate

Your nights

As you wait for morning

Radiate with love

It grows within you

The seed was sown

When we kissed

Spread out

Full to the brim

Fluid skin

Melded in a completion

Of perpetuity

Wrapped together

On soft grass

Stargazing

Counting suns

Backwards to the beginning

When the universe was new

The canopy

Softly fallen over

Warm hearts

A meditation

In loving touch

Seamlessly stitched

Into the fabric

Of pipe dreams

Spread out

Akimbo

Open to the world

With nothing hidden

Innocently portrayed

As sweet as morning

After the fall

Of honeydew

Melted on warm skin

Prickly heat

As hotly contested

As love
