Wild With Me

“Batter my heart…

for you as yet but knock…”

– John Donne

You can be wild with me.

I am not afraid.

You don’t have to dampen your flames,

Temper your passion,

Curb your strength,

Dim your light.

I want it all.

Consume me,

Overwhelm me,

Overpower me,

Illuminate me.

Only let me do the same.

Let me be my whole self with you.

And do not turn away.

You can be fierce with me.

I am not afraid.

You don’t have to tone down your fury,

Explain your paradoxes,

Sanitize your metaphors,

Hide your emotions.

I want to absorb it all.

Astonish me,

Confound me,

Appall me, if you can.

Only let me do the same.

Let me strip my soul bare with you.

And do not turn away.

Let’s just be ourselves together, you and I,

Unfiltered,

Uncensored,

Unleashed,

Uninhibited.

Honest and intimate.

Whole and free.
