Cecilia
I was expecting to find an open door to your heart
From the glimpses I received to your soul
To be lost in your dream forever my dream
Drawn to your pivot like a charged magnet
The only time I seem to be alive…is when I'm electrified!
When I become lost in your fantasy…you can end me?
I watch the world go by as you enter mine…or choose to.
There are no words, not a sound, only your powerful thoughts
Only emotion, only my undying devotion…in this placid ocean
Of once rough waters…collected tears like the Dead Sea
I picture you as you were before the door closed
A raging storm, a ravaging force, unforgiving
A drop of your tears, flooded the mind to a crippling stroke
With sorrow and despair…a woman scorned!
How I stayed afloat the wreckage…unseen?
An ant in your crushing palm…where do I begin?
Only you can end the storm for love’s sunset to take form
Only you define the horizon…to a goodnight?
Perhaps I enjoy these salty planes and otherwise clear skies?
My destiny is wherever your storm ejects or swallows me
The nightmare is still only a small part of your dream
I love you Cecilia…and so I stay within a force of nature
Where your winds and whims dictate my direction
And your rainwaters offer me equally life and death
