The Pearl That Is You
Love me so I may love you more
Adore us so I may hold your soul
Chorus enters with rhythm in chord
Lord help us for it’s in our core
Rewarding is the oceans in your eyes
That shine deep beneath the tides
Diving deep for the pearl that hides
Holding breath for as long as I find
The pearl I seek within your eyes
Your minds divine inspirited rhyme
Time and time have I failed to rhyme
My love with mind and theirs combined
It never fit
Their script couldn’t remit
Aimed and spit at all of my wit
Whipped and snipped at my candles lit wick
Almost snuffed my flames innocence
But then there was you
There was always you
And I always knew
But thought the opportunity blew
Passed by like when you drove by in that car with another guy
But you were just writing to your own surprise :)
Years pass by
Fears crashed with lies
Beating bruised with knives
Mentally strangled with ties
Similar story with similar lives
Finally connect our lives in rhyme
Kindly kiss your delicate mind
Tiny drips of tiny cries
My soul feels your times in crime
Essence presence lines define
Our hearts string an unbreakable vine
For us to reach, grab and lift
Both of us with our amazing gifts
To express and feel more of what’s real
To heal and believe in what we can see
So let it be so I may seek
That pearl deep within your sea
