You hold me
hold me close
I feel you warmth
your breath
breathing life
kindness
into the world
we live in.
I hold you
close
to feel that
loving caress
that
kiss
upon my lips.

Can we be
like
we used to be
friends laughing
endlessly?
Can’t we?
Can we put aside
our anger
our differences
please.
Please
can’t we?
I know you care
I know
you’re more
than fair.
So what is wrong
with
being what
we used to be?
Can’t we?
Can we be
friends
lovers
gentle souls
giving all
we can.
Please
can’t we?

No one told me
what I’d see
No one held me
giving security
No one showed me
told me
what life could really be
Only life itself
gave
that opportunity.

The breath of my soul
knows
each step you take
each word
you speak.
My heart knows
it beats
to
the pulse of yours.
Skipping a beat
when you smile
caress me.
My eyes see
love
so great
it can’t be contained
in this
my body.
You needn’t speak
a word
for
my ears, my eyes
my body
know
I love you
And
you, you take care
in
loving me.

Courtesy comes
And
Does live
In the heart of heaven
I know it is.
I can see it happening
I can feel the bliss
Here beside me
In this, this life
I live.
