Pure Gold

what I shelter
deep in here
one kiss from you
makes it all clear
like a flower that blossoms
like the sea rushing the shore
I feel love knocking
on my heart's door

yesterday is past
tomorrow yet to come
you hold this treasure
there in your palm
gingerly you examine
with tenderness you hold
lovingly you offer
your heart of pure gold

I thought I knew love
and all of its games
but I can tell now
this isn't the same
when two hearts beat
and echo as one
the arcs connect
and won't be undone

like a flower that blossoms
like the sea rushing the shore
I hear you knocking
and open my heart's door
