I get swept away
by the sound of your voice,
transported to that place
where only we exist.
Crashing within the waves
of your all-consuming love,
entranced and submerged
by the depths of your desire.
And since the beginning,
I have always known
that you were to be mine
and I was to be yours.
You are the truest love
that I have ever known,
and the very best part
of who I have become.

Slip into my thoughts
Dwell within my mind
Cover me in kisses
Help me to unwind
Wrap yourself around me
Give me all you are
Let us never part
Leave me never far

Like the wind
I come and go
And where I’ll end up
Not even I know
I try my best
To show who I am
But even those closest
Can’t understand
I often wonder
About things I should do
But lack of encouragement
Leaves me feeling blue
I feel like the whole world
Is expecting me to fall
But deep in my heart
I’m giving it my all
I’m no competitor
I’ve just never been
But I want to live my life
And be something in the end

I adore the ones
who let love in
not everyone has
the capacity within
The ones who do
were made for me
they’re the only ones
who set me free

Beauty lies in exquisite little things
and oh, the joy each one can bring
Tiny buds shooting up from the earth
does anyone notice their undeniable worth
A small hand that reaches out
when time is short and heartaches about
Do we see the love that’s clearly there
or do we sit uninterested without a care
The look from a friend, be it human or pet
compassions eye, causing us not to fret
Do we open our hearts and let the love rush in
as that smiling face tries to warm us from within
A tree that sways from a forest glen
welcoming us back time n time again
Do we notice how it gives a place to rest our feet
offering us a spot for introspection and retreat
The sky filled with glory of the heavenly kind
taking our breath away when we need to rewind
Do we stop and take notice, capturing the delight
or instead, look away, never noticing the light
The gift of a kind gesture, a selfless act from purest love
perhaps the presence of angels sent from above
Maybe we don’t see the treasure that’s always been right there
plagued by hardships and suffering, are we completely unaware?
