POEM FOR MY WIFE

ONE AND ONE MAKE ONE

                      POEM FOR MY WIFE

My prayer today to my God above
     is to help me show you my love.
To His glory and honor, I want our lives to be
     just what He meant them to be.
          Molded, Blended, Enfolded, Entwined. -

May I know myself -- 
          open myself 
               and give myself to you,
Even as you have opened yourself --
          and offered yourself
               ever so freely to me.

May I try not to keep to myself
     my fears -
          my thoughts -
               my desires.
This only keeps me from giving myself
          giving myself to you.

How can we be ONE when 
     I enclose myself
          and don't expose myself to you.

If I would look at the Joy we share 
     when we are ONE in body in bed
and catch a glimpse of the joy we could share
     if one we were in mind and spirit.

This is a noble and lofty goal -
     one that you have for so long sought after.
I want to catch that glimmer of light -
     that noble and lofty goal -
          to let go of myself
               to open myself
                    to give myself to you.

Be tender (and patient) with me
     as I begin to bloom
          as I begin to unfurl - to unfold
Be tender as I let myself go.

I feel unsure - looking about -
     I haven't been this way before
I've only practiced curling up again -
     hiding - hiding inside myself again.

But I do want out -
     YES - I want out of myself
          to let go of myself
               to open myself -
and give myself to you.

At one time this was private, but now I would like to let go of myself and not hide inside myself to others. Share if you wish.
