play in the stream with me,
we’ll weigh down our pockets with
rocks and shiny pebbles, and then
go home together after
and i’ll dance with you
under the stars,
take a spin around the moon,
let you dip me in the blazing
shadows of the sun
i will love you without shame
wherever i shall roam,
as a cowboy, a scallywag, or a bard
because it’s not the taste of the overpriced
movie theater popcorn and shared soda
that i’m trying to savor
and i’ll love you loudly, too
and with all the skill of a dog howling
at the moon, i will confess my love for you
and by that i mean, i’ll be
loud and unashamed
because i was crafted from clay
and seaglass with smoothed-down edges
that match the colors of your eyes,
to love and be loved by you
and that’s all i’ll ever ask of you,
to let me love you
and to love me like i’ll be here tomorrow,
like i’m worth coming home to

Really like your writing 🙂 lovely words with a nice flow
Enjoyed the third stanza enormously. Doesn’t take money to swoon someone that might fall in love with you.
