Next to you

I wish I were a little monkey.
I would sit on your shoulder all day,
and sleep on your heart at night.
Or a long and mighty snake:
then I'd wrap myself around you,
and never let you go.
Or maybe a huge black panther
whereby I'd chase you,
and eat you up.
What if I were an orchid?
I'd be all fleshy and colorful,
like a mouth ready to kiss you.
I wish I were me when I am in your arms, all the time.
So I could stay in that small space where our gaze meets
and there I would live, next to you
but not quite of you.
Just a constant presence,
forever welcoming you to the realm
where every bridge leads to the Kingdom
you hold within your Soul.
