More To Me Then You'll Ever Know Poem by Mark Heathcote

I'm-only flesh and bone
I'm-only a human being
Acting all instinctual
Wanting to go deep and nautical and kiss you.
I'm-only a coral reef
Oh, for you, my starfish,
So you can inch by inch your way beneath my skin.
I'm-only a pale base coated canvas
I'm-only a wet unfinished painting
Waiting-framing
Darling, you can lick-me-into shape
Darling, you can fill my cup
Till it's an ocean, where I can drown and escape
And thereafter-levitate without a drop.
Darling, I'm a dangling spider
Looking into your eyes
In your keep in your keeping
Shaking-all-energized.
I'm an alchemist experimenting in his chamber
Darling, I'm silver soldered
Darling, I'm a Pussy willow
Spun and cocooned in gold
Darling, I'm only flesh and bone
But I know when my heart my roots
My soul has found a home;
Darling, you mean so much more to me then you'll ever know.
