An Intimate Encounter
Choked in stress and despair
I knelt in front of you
And begged you to listen to me
Rolling on the floor
In desperation
I stared at you
Made love to you
Cajoled you
Called you my mom, a saint, a savior
Called you my beloved
The only thing I have to hang on to
And yelled at you
Then I fall asleep
In front of you in exhaustion
And in my dream
You came smiling
Touching me
Caressing me
Loving me
Like my mom
Like my sister
Like my baby daughter
Like my beloved
As I embraced you
You became a part of me
My reality
My life
