I wanted to say
the moon seemed
so bright
day became night
in perfect silence
and the stars were born
into madness, into light

you appeared and I
wanted to know

I wish words
could carry me in
and someone
could sense
the swirl
in the afternoon breeze
and gently
pick me
in a butterfly net
and map my colors
and have my contour
as a sextant for life.

don't worry baby, it's all going to be fine because
your hands not letting go of mine
when worse comes to worse
i'll hold on tight even when it hurts
the ground is shaking trying to tear us down
but we won't be forsaken we know what we've found
our love saves us
the river may run deep but our hopes grow tall
our love saves us now
as we jump from stone to stone
just got to believe we won't fall
do you remember the promise?
remember when this was all brand new
how deep into you I fell
I believed in us then and I still do
with shivering hearts we wait
sometimes we even hesitate
but we're  still holding on
now that we're here we've come so far
so just hold on
there's nothing to fear I am right beside you
for all my life I am yours forever

Sheer shades of red
Sitting tightly on my hip
Enhancing my perfections
And disguising my flaws
An illusion of lucent confidence
In my own skin
Feeling your heated presence
In my midst
You amorously gaze
At your Aphrodite
Your muse
Glowing like ember
Creating a lustful aura
Surrounding us both
Those sheer shades of red
Are a wonder to us all
