Anchor of Love
Gaze deeply into these eyes, sail inside the beryl drag.
Find what I hide.
fight against the lapping tides.
Oh lover, oh caption of my heart.
Seek the insecurities within my torrent.
Beseech them with a lulling lullaby.
Starve the fear from my bones, purge them away with your soothing stroke.
Hush the doubt that riddles me weak, silence them before they do me.
Ease my mind so it may not wonder.
For if it does I am mislaid.
My soul would become the ship without harbor.
Bask in my dreams that lay coiled.
Breathe life into them, fuel my infinite desires.
Taste the hope on my tongue.
Oh so bitter sweet, fear lingering on these ashen lips.
Stripe me down, expose me so I can be unspoiled .
Love me in this moment, for all these things are what lovers do.
I will be the ocean and you my anchor.
