If you must fight for me
don’t fight in this time of fear
don’t lower yourself to grovel or
bend in places not meant to bend
Don’t conjure magical moments of
happy happenings in an attempt to
lure to the surface a softer loving
version of me that you watched sink
into unknown depths
Those weapons of lovefare
have rusted knocked dull and will
thud against this calloused skin
If you must fight for me
Fight for me while my heart happily
purrs in the warmth and safety of your lap
Fight for me in times of peace
and silence
stillness
comfort
If you must fight for me
be savage with your kisses that
snatch away low moments
Pierce my flesh with stares of admiration
Scrape me down with a sticky compliment
Claw a path through the guts of space to
draw yourself into me as if it's
the only place you ever belonged
Inhale my exhales
Exhale for my inhales
Hang on
Allow a lingering embrace time to
entangle and constrict
any divisive concern that
roams our connection's corridors
If you must fight for me
be ruthlessly ugly to
commit to our beauty
Hunt through the darkness with a jagged loving
disposition that is bloodthirsty
for a quiet conversation
on some park bench
of a perfect early evening
where the sun begins
her
rest
…
Hold my hands love
Lock into my eyes
Be HERE with me
On your feet
With a straight proud spine to bask
within the bountiful harvest of
what is and
whats earned
Seed sown
If you must fight for me
Fight for me
but
Fight then
Not now
Fight then
For now
Fight
