dandelion

Don’t come to me unbridled
Grabbing without control.
Touch me with grace,
Come at me gently,


Sneak up to me like a bird does a butterfly
In the few inches above the grass.

Come join me under the covers
Inching like a caterpillar under a leaf
And you will find that my embraces,
Light like dandelion seeds,
Will keep you satiated.

Talk softly and tiptoe
It’s all more sensitive than you know.

Pacify me
Calm me
And I will open to you.
