Drape Me
Poem by Gaby Bila-Günther aka Lady Gaby / © Berlin, 2010
In jewels
With all your gentle tools
Drape me
With your eyes
Without blinding me
Drape me
In words
Without them hurting me
Drape me
With affection
Without it spoiling my moods
Drape me
With attention
With borders that can be crossed
Drape me
With love
And I will give it back to you
Drape me
With songs
Without being out of tune
Drape me
With heat
Without explosions
Drape me
With care
Without a strangle
Drape me
With kisses
Without hinges
Drape me
With the world’s beauty
Without its sickness and addiction
Drape me
With your mind
Without doing it all the time
Drape me
Without an end
As I want to walk further
Drape me
With promises
But spare me when they are broken
Drape me
With your sex and lust
But spare me the hate when I have had enough
And I am through with you
