I see your soul like it's on fire
Flickering like your inner desire.
It's beautiful and gold
Something for me to hold.
It lashes out at my own soul
Igniting my fire from burnt-out coal.
And in the coal lies diamond shards
That I gamble with my cards.
We roll the dice together
But the game goes on forever.
Your soul binding to mine
Our bodies entwined.
The fires roaring inside our being
Keeping us from fleeing.
And on and on we go
On and on, to and fro.
To the end together as one
Dancing since the fire begun.
Finicky flames, but burning bright
You and I, what a sight.
Liquid love, cold steel blue
Combining, becoming what is true.

Your beauty is like a diamond
Began as rough
Shined up sparkly
To something that is enough..

For me to see how beautiful you are
Under the calloused surface of your skin
You glow like a moonbeam
Brilliant beneath your sin.

Everyone is a sinner
But to me you're divine
Your spirituality is powerful
Can you see who you really are through my eyes?

Like honey I lick you up
So sticky sweet to my lips
The nectar of your essence
Upon my finger tips.

And you're delicious, so tasty
I love you the way you are
As precious as gold, to me
Rare like a falling star.

I've caught you in my hands
Sticky, brilliant, tasty, bright
I'll pour my water over you
Honey-filled moonbeam, delight.

Howling at the moon
I think is what I was doing
It wasn't too soon
I was losing control.

Cause really I'm an animal
Whether it be a dog or a cat
I'm wild and unpredictable
It's in my true nature.

I usually repress it all
And keep it locked inside
But that night I began to call
To who I really am.

Yipping, yowling
Growling, barking
Purring, howling.

That is true to myself
This wild beast inside
It's something I can't help
And I won't hide it away.

Besides, sounds are so much more appealing
For moments when you lose yourself
Words just aren't as revealing
To what you are feeling.

Yip, yip.

It was a moment we shared
That held more power than I'll ever understand
A moment we shared
So enlightening, so magical.

The water was rushing
Over our naked forms
And we're face to face
In this moment.

I didn't expect anything
That happened
To happen like that
It was something special.

You're voice is so profound
So beautiful, so amazing
I could feel your power
All over me, within me.

Our foreheads pressed together
My breath is heavy but controlled
Because I feel so clean
So refreshed and reborn.

In this moment
Visuals pass behind my eyelids
I could never recreate what I saw
But I'm sure you could feel it.

When you were through
Chanting to my very soul
I don't think I've ever felt so alive
I don't have the words to describe..

I huddled down into the water
Because it, I had become
Prior to this moment
And it cleansed my everything.

When I opened my eyes
I realized, I was crying
Cause what you did
Made me feel a new rapture of emotion.

I could tell you what this did to me
But there's no way to really tell someone lightly
That you don't want anyone else
But them.

And there's no easy way to put
That you feel like your very essence
Is tied to theirs, after this moment
And you won't let them go.

I don't just understand you now
I know you
I don't just watch you
I'm with you.

You don't have to explain yourself to me anymore
And I don't have to try to understand
But really I'm confused
Cause now I know.

I more than know
I am.

I am there with you.

A bird caught from the wild
And trapped in a cage
You have to let her go
Free from the bars.

She doesn't want to be trapped
Inside this lonely cage
Open the door and let her fly home
Up into the stars.

And like a leaf in the wind
She glides to wherever it leads
Her wings open wide
Riding the circulation of air.

The destination she finds
Is the one that she seeks
And landing to her new home
She becomes a pair.

Being a pair she is happy and fulfilled
Her heart beating along side another
The love she has grows
Keeps growing and expanding.

For with her partner she is content
And she flies storms for her lover
He won't cage her in
This kind of love is withstanding.

You validate everything
I have wished to be validated for
Everything so small
And everything so big.

You point out everything
I've wanted to be pointed out
And not only with your words
But you like it, too.

And everything I've ever wanted
You've made it happen
Everything I wish I may, wish I might
You granted.

I wanted to be beautiful
And now I am
I always was
But I see it now, like you do.

I wanted to be unique
And now I am
You've encouraged me to be the difference
That I've always tried to be.

I wanted to be adventurous
A real die hard thrill seeker
I'm not quite there
But I believe I can be anything now.

I wanted to be loved
Madly, out of control but exciting loved
And here you are
Surpassing even that.

I wanted to grow
And I reached to the sky so many times
But I didn't know
I couldn't do it alone.

I wanted to be thought of every day
Or at least thought of affectionately
You think of me all of the time
And I don't doubt your love.

I wanted to be important
To one person, or to all
And just by one look
I know I'm your world.

I wanted to be acknowledged
For all those dumb things you want to be acknowledged for
And you do it so well
And sincerely.

I wanted to be accepted
No matter my faults
And you take it all
With open arms.

I wanted someone to smile
Because of me
Because of something I did
Because of something I said
Because of something I am
Be happy, because of me.

I've only known distaste
Because of me
Because of something I did
Because of something I said
Because of something I am
Being unhappy, because of me.

Because of who I am.

Everything I am
You've grown to love
And I think all my wishes
Have come true.

I don't have to cry those tears anymore
The ones of wanting to change
Because all I wanted
Was to be loved for me.

And now I am.

Love is just a word on the surface
When I plunge so much deeper than that
To the bottom of the ocean.

I took a dive head first
Without looking back
And it almost shocked me beyond shock.

But it was such a wonderful dive
And I'm still going
Cause I don't really think there's a bottom.

When judgment is dropped
And love is knowing
You'll just deepen the sea.

With the ocean around me
I can feel your intense emotions
The ripples breaking against my skin.

I've become a part of your existence
And I understand all of your notions
That I ripple back the patterns you send.

Together in this ocean of rapture
We ripple out our feelings for each other
And accept them without blocking the movement.

You've become part of my existence
The emotions endless for another
In the sea we've deepened beyond depth.

Because depth is measurable
But rapture of love is not
At least my own emotions are not confined to a barrel.

At the bottom of my barrel I've dug further
But now more outside of the barrel is sought
Outside of the confines is so define-less.

So much more than love
So much beyond comprehending
But do we really need to comprehend it?

Just feel it inside
Our egos transcending
And let me love you like an untamed sea.
