For Dan

By flying_fox

Such words you bestow
upon me, around me
with lacivity and calm
great with intellect and thought

Letting me envelope you
accepting of my flaws
oh, so many flaws
your gaze is lovely

warm blue and cool red
surrounding me
protection in your voice
desire in your touch

you make me feel special
a designer piece
made just for you
to you, I am a diamond

Such kindness is rare
deep sincerity a treasure
these feelings immeasurable
I give myself



to you
