My Lovers Gifts

My lover gave me a gift

She gave me - her time,

A gift she has put in my path without constraints….

She gave me - her hands

Her touch heals even the most broken parts of me….

She gave me - her smile

That melts through the hardened pained parts of my soul

 She gave me - her life, her love, her indulgence

In bounty

My lover gave me the expansiveness and the patience to let me be

to feel enough

to be unconstrained and unrestricted by rules, fear, conformities

My lovers deep trust in my methods, my ideas, my randomness, my spontaneity,

My lover pride of me…her love that erased any shame I bore as baggage

My lover who made me feel enough; special, needed

My lover who demonstrated to me that love is those small priceless bits

My lover, my lover

…my love…my life.
