All Night Long - Poem

Does my ambivalence show

or is it my own heart that I protect?

From the thorny clutches of a cold hearted rejection.

My heart has grown soft with age

it’s just got a harder crust to crack

calling out...

cradle me...

care for me...

and I’ll caress you all night long

Does my vulnerability show

or am I hiding it with every joke I make?

Under crinkling eyes and a dirty laugh

or every event I undertake in

My heart has ripened with age

it just grows bigger everyday

    seeking out...

    stroke me...

soothe me...

and I’ll sing for you all night long

Does my love for you show

or do I pretend I’m no fool?

I walk away when I should turn around

am shouting when I should play it cool but

my heart has grown wiser with age

it’s just a young heartbeat you can hear

                                            breathing out...

brush me...

bathe me...

and I’ll be yours all night long’
