Make Me Whole - a Collaboration With Edward Ibeh

Collaboration with Edward Ibeh

Oh, precious one, I need you…
Be the missing ying to my yang.
Come on home to a safe haven
In this warm, cozy heart of mine
Stay forever more, I implore thee, because…
Without you, there’s a hollow there!
And I’ll journey through
This vale of tears, incomplete.
A kin to sunlight without the sun,
Or a shadow without light,
Or a Romeo without his Juliet,
Or a pearl being formed without an oyster.
On my own, I am but a starless night.
My dearest, say you need me, too.
Let me be the sparkling star that shines
With light to fill your heart.
I will be as the sun that rises
To make the shadows dance.
Together our home, will be our universe
Where pearls are at our fingertips.
Warmth will fill every hollow corner
As tears dry and smiles commence
We’ll be a shining duo
High as the moon leading tides.
These tides of love in strength we’ll share;
Moving endlessly together.
I have reached your cozy heart
Where I stay forevermore!
All this could be, if you complete me.
I beseech you, make me whole.

Heidi Sands and Edward Ibeh
