Loving Attire

By David Geiger, May 20, 2023

I see you in my closet,
one of many,
some of you I love,
some I just like,
others I look at,
maybe I touch one,
feel the softness,
I run my hand around the collar,
over the breast,
thinking, with a sly smile,
I should get to know you a little better!

But then I see the one I love,
and I grab you,
and I wear you again,
because I love you!
You are not the only one,
but I always look for you first,
I love to pick you up,
hold you close to me,
and breathe your fresh scent.

When you wrap around me,
my arms in your arms,
I loosen your soft folds,
I pull you in to me,
I breathe your scent,
I am inside you,
I feel love and loved.

When I see you just sitting there,
unaware that I am looking at you,
I smile and remember how happy you make me.

I love your wrinkles,
and the scars that came with age,
I love the way your personality grew,
as your color faded, over time.

When I see pictures of us together,
at a party or just the two of us,
I smile and remember how happy we were!
but…can I say this out loud?
I wish I had four others just like you,
but in four different colors!

I wish you had an identical twin I could take out when you are grumpy and tired.
Please don’t hate me for saying these things!

You are the best!

I know, when the day is over,
and I pull you over my head,
toss you in a pile,
with my other loves,
you will wait patiently for me to find you again,
and you know,
I will find you again,
your folded curves in the closet,
reaching out to me,
asking,
love me again please.
I love you.

David
