There is a strong wall about me to protect me,
it is built of the words you have said to me.
There are swords about me to keep me safe,
they are kisses of your lips.
Before me goes a shield to guard me from harm,
it is the shadow of your arms between me and danger.
All the wishes of my mind know your name,
and the white desire of my heart,
they are acquainted with you.
The cry of my body for completeness,
that is a cry for you.
My blood beats out your name to me,
unceasing,
pitiless,
your name, your name.
-Mary Carolyn Davies
My thoughts to my husband of 10 years.
Peeling away piece by piece to get to the raw goodness of it all.
