you know what's sexy?

telling me the truth, 
even when you think it might hurt me, 
tells me that you respect me. 
your willingness to stand before me and with me, 
as my vulnerability meets yours, 
and the moments are suspended in mid air 
because neither of us knows which way the pieces will fall, 
tells me i can trust you. 
your courage in the face of fear, 
well aware that uncertainty reigns when hearts are on the line, 
softens me 
and shows me 
that i am worth 
the risk 
of your authenticity.

the breath of you

my heart unsettled 
the earth dangerously uneven underfoot 
a rushing in my chest
i am unbalanced 
and cannot be settled 
but by 
the breath of you
