Come and Love Me
By Kathryn Tate Jacoby
Come to me now.
Bring to me your naked soul
and share with me all
of its beauty and vulnerability …
… and I will give you mine
opened and unveiled.
There have been hurts we’ve both felt
and the malaise the heart feels
never truly subsides …
yet even with the knowing
this longing always stays,
stronger than the memory of loss.
To be loved
and to love
is the thing we all seek
even unto our dying
breath …
… worth all that we have
and all that we are.
So, come to me
and love me
and I will love you
without rules,
without restraint,
passionately, and
whole-souled
for as long as
we are allowed.
Touching and true. Thanks, Kathryn.
This is really beautiful. I especially like the gentle rhythm that doesnt depend on simple rhyme for its melodic flow.
