I LOVE YOU (3)

I love you
like my lips are on a flagpole in winter
and your lips are the water which will set them free.

I love you
like my tongue is lacerated by glass,
and your mouth is the salve which will heal it.

I love you
like having my arms around your body
will provide mine with the warmth to survive the winter.

I love you
like one look into the clear lake-waters of your eyes
will tell me which way to go across grassy fields
to find the wild herbs to save my brother.

I love you
like a kiss from your lips
is worth more than a kiss from any other lips in the world or
all of the other lips in the world combined,

because none of them can make me feel at home the way you do.

Maybe should end with "can make me feel like making a home with them the way yours do" or something.
Did not turn out as strong as I wanted I think, but I think I'll still be happy with it.
