If I were a gardener
\nand you were the land,
\nI would draw sweet stems
\nover the ground of you,
\nwith leaves drawn out
\neach by each
\nwith the sunlight of my touch,
\na blossoming kiss atop each one.<\/p>\n
If I were a woodwright
\nand you were a tree,
\nI would lay you down gently,
\nremove your bark piece by piece
\nto slowly reveal the gold below.
\nI would run my hands along you
\nand envision all the beauty
\nmy hands could make with you.<\/p>\n
If I were a potter
\nand you were soft clay,
\nI would ask you quietly
\nwhat you wished to be,
\nmove and dance with you
\na pas d’deux of shoulders and wet hands,
\nspinning and dreaming
\nuntil we are both empty vessels,
\nwaiting for fire and filling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
