Let Me Warm And Unwrap You Poem by Mark Heathcote

I require fearless wings eternally erudite
I require a tearless dream
I require a peaceful eternal night
I require a restful endless sleep becalmed like a ship
Let's not go out haggling
Let's not go out shopping senseless this winter
Instead, let's embrace each other nightly tightly.

Let me be warmed in your arms embrace
Ah, my lover let me tremble
Let me like a Christmas candle, flame, flicker,
Flicker till our flames are blown-out from this banquet table.
Cause I require no further gifts in my arms anymore
I require no other promises
Then our, own, hard-fought-for possibilities.

Let me warm and unwrap you from that shawl
These feathers here that haven't yet been shorn,
That has no intention of leaving
That has no plan of flying south
Wrap around me, cradle my soul
Like a winter cloak of snow-
That never freezes feels chill or cold.

Let me warm and unwrap you forevermore
Let us sleep beneath a frozen ancient waterfall
Let rest in a forest, a woodland glade
And hear the lure of our hearts echo without greed
Echo, in a mirror, echo and echo stuck inside a wall
Indefinitely melting, ever slowly, forevermore
Let me warm and unwrap you from that shawl

I require fearless wings eternally erudite
I require a tearless dream
I require a peaceful eternal night
I require a restful endless sleep becalmed like a ship
Let's not go out haggling
Let's not go out shopping senseless this winter
Instead, let's embrace each other nightly tightly.
