I am not afraid of
my naked vulnerabilities or
society’s foolish expectations
or the ridicule in their eyes
or the tears in my own
as I pour myself out into your hands
and listen to your beautiful mouth speak
because my love has no fear and I want to
savor and experience everything about you
while we dance profusely upon the things
which have made you suffer
and I see that indomitable affection in your smile
that tells me it was all worth it
