slow cooking trust

I can see
your shoulders already know
the way they slump a little
in your sleep
while I kiss my secrets
into their freckles
oh, and they are
hard working freckles
draining all my urgency
and worldly worry out
through my fingertips
until all that is left
is patience
all-accepting arms
that could shield from
the most potent of ogres
and the thoomp thoomp
in my chest
deliriously bursting with love
falling all over itself
in its tipsy wonderland

    Very sweet. Flows very nicely over the tongue. This is going to sound absolutely stark raving mad to you, but it feels like popcorn in my mouth. Any chance anyone knows what I mean? :>)
