I am repeated over & overLike waves forming andcrashing to the shore -once more I am washed up,beached on your heart;wondering if in this voyageyou will claim me beforethe full tide takes me once more

Perhaps if I kiss you with wordsWhen you read them out loudThey shall vibrate on your lipsAnd my intentionBecomes your assertionUniting us in an ecstasy of sound

You plucked me like a flowerfrom your secret garden;pressing my petals to your lips,inhaling deeply of my fragrance.You placed me in your lapelso you could feel my presenceclose to your heart.And when the flower faded,you cast it asideunaware that I had bloomedin a million other ways.

I swing like a pendulum between the darkness and the light,sometimes it feels like gallowsother times it feels like flight.

If I fall from loveAnd I am torn in twoBe gentle with my heartForgive my shadowsI must rest awhileFor my wings to spreadAnd fly back to you

I am woven into youYou are woven into meThrough our combined visionWe can see Eternity

I shall love youWith all my loveNot just a portionLove’s vast expanseMoves through meRequiring infinityTo receive itExpand your heartInto the infiniteAnd when thisBody is dust we shallFind each otherAll over again

There are days I am wholeSome days I feel bruisedA silhouette of verse emergesTo mirror my moodAnd with every wordI undress my soulBaring it to the world

Even nowwhen I say your nameit leaves my mouthin slow motionlike a winged prayer;A hymn beforethe altar of love.
