“Rome”

I want to feel the warm breeze beneath my knees,

I want to feel my long dress gently sway

In the winds.

I want you to look into my eyes and speak 

of your desired sins. 

Unravel the yin in me, 

Tell me I am your stars, moon, and galaxy.

Dive deep into my soul, 

Surrender,

and dance with me.
