herricane rose ~ by jaymee leyana

i want you to feel me
not only with words
when you’re between covers..

but the depths
of my soul
& the lives i’ve passed through
just to get to you.

i want my skin
pressed against yours
as you hold me
tracing fingertips
down my spine

i am not perfect,
smooth,
matte or gloss.
& i don’t pretend to be
anymore.

i am uncoated,
tear-stained,
dog-eared,
dripping in earth
& gold

and i’m ready for you
to feel me.
