T
I lay beneath you
Breathless
Our lips
Dance together
Between sighs
And laughter
I exhale love
And breathe you in
God your so
intoxicating
I would have never know what life would mean
If you hadn’t taught me what it was to breathe.
Your hair as black as the night
Falls into your eyes, the windows to your soul
Whose depth seems to be immeasurable
Overlooking a view that is
is so magnificent
a Sunset of hope
bright pink and purple
hangs over the horizon
those arms
full of strength and compassion
protect her childlike innocence
as
golden rays
of love pour all around me
and I bathe in
joy
of what is to live
how fortunate am I
that you helped me see it
you speak in gentle tones
as your hair
as dark as ravens wings
covers you both
shielding her from
the troubles in life
my protector, and my friend
don’t you realize
that I could never love another
And I am finally freed
Caged like a bird I had forgotten what it was to sing
And now my breast
full of song, a symphony within
Love is such a powerful thing
