'Manhood'

There are many moments when I just want my man to let down his guard

Stop proving to the world that he is macho and hard

While he stands strong and tall, behind an emotionless wall

Playing a role from a masculinity script

Where fear, pain and vulnerability is fully stripped

There are days I long to strip you away from your social construct of 'manhood'

Your so called innate, but arguably learnt characteristics of what a man should, be

And for a few minutes please just be human with me

For why must our souls only connect through sex?

Why not bare our souls in heart led dialect, or in the beauty of stillness and silence

Letting the pure bliss of just being in each other's presence go beyond our five senses,

And left unexplained by science.

I long for more moments when we don't play our parts or gender roles

And just be halves making each other whole

Via channels other than physical intimacy 

With me opened wide letting you inside; let's not shun intimacy in its other forms too

Every now and then you should learn to open up, so we can become one with me inside of you.
