I got goose bumps when you spoke my name
And all warm and fuzzy when you stated your claim –
That you wanted to write me
Excite me
Delight me
With words of praise
And verses of passion
Climatic explosions of shared reactions
Put purposely onto the page
And I chose you
Exposed you
To the secrets that I keep
And with you
Through you
Because of you
I hungered deep –
For more of your revelations
About me
Of me
For me
From line to line
And verse after verse
You spoke me - into your life
Evoked me - within your heart
And wrote me - through your love
- A written invitation
