Calmly the river flows
To many creatures, yet unknown.
A place to drink for those who know,
And a place for many to call their home.
The river meanders through the countryside
Like the veins essential to our lives.
Carrying nourishment on which to feed.
Vital to our daily needs.
An abundance of food for man everywhere
And a bounty of salmon for the hungry bear.
But, do not be fooled by its magnificence
For the hidden reality is far more intense.
The river so powerful yet seemingly steady
Barely a sound echoing in the valley.
So very quiet, yet mightily strong,
Silently waiting for victims to come along,
To the river the victims now belong.
But it's in the nature of the beast,
And man tries to tame it
By putting in place
A huge wall of stone
To slow down it's pace,
And in the end, sadly,
It's life, man will take,
And this wonderful life force
Becomes just a still lake.

When I kiss you, I find
Something blows in my mind
And my knees, they just want to give way
The power of your touch
Is sometimes too much
And I find myself feeling afraid.
Scared of what? Do I know?
If I do, should it show?
Well, that's up to me to decide.
One thing is for sure,
Though I feel insecure,
What good would it do if I hide?
My love's so intense,
That it doesn't make sense,
For me to even try to conceal
This fear deep inside,
That this won't survive
And that, I'm afraid's, very real
It's because it's so good
I've not yet understood
What gives me a right to this "high"
After causing such pain
For my own selfish gain
Who deserves to fall down more than I?
And it's this that I fear
Until you make it clear
That the love you declare is so true
Because, if that's so
Then we'll give it a go
And with luck, we can surely pull through!
