Grateful
Surrender
let
go of my heart, for it knows not how to cope
with the love you offer so completely, no holding back
let go of my heart, if you don't then I will begin to hope
and life will be even more hazardous, can't lose what I lack
your
eyes beckon me to come closer and closer
to know you, to love you, to hear your promises
I am powerless. I'll play
with you, defy not the composer
of love, lust, need, and desire; despite what my past says
please,
I'm begging you now. can you not see?
broken mirrors of me, rightfully haunt me and forewarn
of hurt that follows this game you want to play with me
shattered reflections, pieces of me, not one whole left even to mourn
your
smile draws me to the edge of a vast canyon below
your touch gives me illusions of taking flight and immortality
then the demon hope pushes me as in blissful ignorance I go
I cannot fly! someone clipped
my wings, a love bird's inevitable malady
I
protest so much, transparent am I, my soul longs for love, I shall die
hope eternal lives on in me still, as our lips meet, our bodies bursting
with desire, the scent of love and sweet dreams we share, as side by
side we
lie
my
heart is unleashed, my ears ache for your voice, for your lips I keep
thirsting
my
body yearns for your touch, my soul longs for your knowing.
of you, my love, I can't get enough; so love me long, love me now
blind my eyes with your beauty, quiet my doubts, let me leap unknowing
of the future I defy. Love has to continue for me with someone, somehow
your
laughter tickles my very soul, your skin cools the fever in my head
just to spark heat somewhere else instead, hold me tonight, do not let
go
let us love, laugh, talk, cry, and love some more; I know the past isn't
dead
let us pretend it doesn't exist, that it cannot persist, once again
let me know
the
shelter of your arms, the excitement of your many charms, look in your
eyes
and fear no more, this is forever, let the demons hope and let love
push me to the edge
I will go willingly, surely there are love birds who can really take
to the skies?
who knows maybe, we can be, the few who survive, because of the love
we pledge
to
be a safe haven for one another, to help, but not over-shadow each other,
vowing..
to
be friends as well as lovers, this much is different, from all the others,
don't
want out.
