To listen to you singIs the sweetest joyThe tone so warmA new art formDrawing me up to fly alongAs a bird takes to wing. To listen to your storyIs the sweetest sorrowCompassion aboundsMeaning compoundsHope for tomorrowAnd a new found glory To listen to you breatheIs the sweetest soundJust to know you are aliveBelieve you’ll surviveAt…
It’s been a long timeSince I crawled inside your mindGot a blanket from the memory closetCurled up on the bed of your joyDrank the wine of your poetryAnd fell asleep safe and warm and loved.
A firm mattressWith crisp white sheetsSharply tucked inAnd feather pillowsGoose down comforterCotton duvetFresh.Clean.Pure. Beggingto be unmadeRuffled,Then thrown,Rolled, crushed.Maybe ripped.Discarded.For the passionOf the momentForgotten.
There’s nothing you could saythat would drive me away.There’s nothing you could doto keep me from loving you.There’s nothing you could giveto get more of my love.There’s nothing you could findto change how I spend my life. I’m yours.
