On What I Desire Most

I wanna be someones sweetheart so badly

I want someone to keep a picture of me in their wallet

To pull out for a kiss when their heart is aching

Or their mind is in need of reassurance

To show off proudly to other women and his brood of boys

I want him to be so in tune with his masculinity that it welcomes and embraces my feminine

Allowing him to indulge in my softness and suppleness

Allowing me to fall deeply into his strength and reassurance

Man, I want a lover so desperately

A confidant

To be one in return

Someone who will slip their fingers into mine and grip me while fucking

And then pull me into a lull of seductive safety and intimacy

Until I’m delirious

I want a man to teach my son how to become one

Who shows him through his actions the love he brazenly holds for me

In hopes that he’ll learn to love someone of his own in the same ways

To be proud of instilling a character of such selflessness

I want safe and reassuring love

A love that I don’t have to compete for

A love that only belongs to me

I suppose I can keep dreaming.
