Dear MAN ... YOU ARE MINE!

Marwa Rakha
Dear MAN

I will drop you in the deepest of oceans

but like a message in a bottle

you will swim to my shore.

I will fly you in the highest of skies

but like a homing pigeon

you will land on my window.

I will let you loose in the busiest of streets

but like a domestic cat

you will stray back to my door.

I will throw you out in the coldest of nights

but like a Christmas gift

you will adorn my tree.

I will let you go and walk away

but like the son I never had

I will hear you calling my name.

Dear MAN ... you are mine!

I knew I was yours the moment I laid eyes on you. With those wide eyes that saw through me, that smile that melted down my defenses, that firm handshake that made my heart flutter, you had me at hello. Deep within my very core I knew it was right; loving you is right; being with you is right; wanting to have kids with you is right; dreaming with you is right; dreaming of you is right; you are just my Mr. Right. You are the missing piece in my 5 million word puzzle of a life. My life was a perfect picture missing a soul and now my well painted parts throb with life.

In shades of orange I shall paint your face and promise you an eternal sunshine. Orange blossoms shall fill your lungs with the scent of happiness and hope. I shall carve our faces in stone and frame us in timber next to our bedside. Let me read you the poems that I wrote you over the years. Let my words guide you through the depth of my heart and the mazes of my mind. As we exchange vows we shall have a sip of our holy grail for our quest for love has upgraded us from mortals to martyrs. I am a witch and you are a magician. Our love is a wonder of the spell that shall forever bind us.

Dear MAN,

When you were not looking,

in your core

I planted my seed.

Before you know it,

I shall grow in your soul

like a leafy tree of a hundred years.

I will toss you and turn you

hurt you and burn you

chew you and spit you.

I will hold you and hug you

kiss you and caress you

inhale you and crave you.

Lose yourself in my passion and rage;

Surrender your weapons;

Come unarmed for I will invade you.

I promise to do all that and more;

Do not resist me;

You are mine.

Yours truly,

Me
