Windswept

From miles away,
I'll sing a song of comfort
If it has half a lucky chance
Of making you smile.

I'll write a thousand lines
Of heartfelt song and verse
To sing your soul
Into a peaceful ocean's bliss.

So the sea breeze can carry,
Across the steady swells,
All of my love
And all that I feel.

So these words of adoration
Homesick for lack of you,
Can whisper through your hair
And slip into your heart.

I'll do anything,
My only love,
To make you happy
And cwtch your soul.

Starblind

When the brightest light
In all the world
Stands before you,
You are lost to it
And in it.

When the brightest star,
The one that sets your heart aglow,
Shines for you,
You are blessed
As few on earth have ever been.

When the most precious soul
In the universe,
Lies beating
Quivering in your arms,
Your soul moves too
And they sway together
To a secret celestial beat
That reaches through creation
Igniting all within its path
Causing stars to flare up
Where none were
And setting your world on fire.

When the most beautiful star
In all the skies put together
Glows before you,
You are blind to all else,
Starblind,
For only its light exists
And that is all you ever want.

Building Certainty

I know the future is a scary place
With dark, shadowy plains
And damp, foggy marshland,
Where the weary traveler fears to tread,
For who knows what lies below...

I know this world is a scary place,
Full of lost and forlorn dreams,
That is never what you'd wish it was,
So you don't dare to live
For who knows what would happen if you did...

But we do...
We know
The future, the world
Is a wondrous place,
Where we've built so much
Between the walls of our hearts -
A home within us
Built of love for one another,
A place full of peace that we've invoked,
And beauty that we've put together
Stone by stone
And brick by brick.

I know we have
What it takes
To traverse this uncertain world,
Because I know,
When it comes to it,
I have you
And you have me.
Always.

Reach

I wish that I could reach
Into that heart of yours
And hold your soul
Unto my own
To keep it warm
And loved
In loving palms.
That I could hold you close
And tight awhile
Or brush your hair
And kiss your cheek...
Anything to make you smile

Encrypted

In an oneiric mist,
Where a pretty pixie and I walk
Over lines in the sand,
We flow together
So that one's place
Is as much the other's
Where no secrets exist
Or gaps either
Between one and one
And itself.
So we sit and watch
Love tiptoe in
And yawn aloud
At sanity
And the wild wide world
And precocity
So a hitchhiker
Will roll in his grave
As our souls fly off
In just the way
A brick would not.

Depth

I know you're scared
And that the surface
Seems far far away
And that it feels
Like the sharks are circling
With the creatures
Of the depths
Holding tightly on
Refusing to let go
But there is light up here
In the world above
And I am here...
Reaching out...
Holding on too...
Hoping...
You will come up for air.

Quaero

Everyone
Is always searching
For that one thing
That makes them feel whole
And very often,
They search in vain

So much so
That it would seem
Practical to declare
Such a search
Futile

But I know
Now,
Even if a little late,
That that search is real
And that it's true

Because I found you.
