potter (2014)

a potter sees clay

what would you like to be today, love?

let me shape you, fashion you,
let me hold you and mould you,
let me press you and caress you,
into what you once were,

into what you have always been

my heart sees you,
though to my eyes
you are a lump of clay
like any other

i know where you came from
and i know what you want to be

i will release you from your matrix;
i will love you into who you are
and who you have been.
