Free yourself from hesitation
Relax and let go of complication
There's no need for negativity
There's no reason to be upset

I offer you peace
Forget yourself in me
And drown in the calm

Wrapping you within my arms
I mean no harm
With me you will find sanctuary
I know you're fed up and wary
I can understand where you're coming from

Don't shy away from the mirror
I'll swallow your fear
And dry your tears
I'll always be here

Believe me
Keep the faith for a better day
Stay with me and hold my hand
We'll reach a better day together

I've seen you before
On the same streets I no longer take
I've never seen you since then
Always I wondered if I would ever see you again

One with the rain
Drenched in apathy
Entangled in pain
I confess to you bashfully

Lost within myself
Seems like forever
I think I may need your help
Yearning to be together

If you ever find these words
Please know that they were written true
They were only meant for you

Cody Shull, 2017

I delve deep down to the sound of your voice
I'm a slave to your unique tone
I could listen to you speak endlessly
Doesn't matter what it is that you have to say
Just make sure you say it all to me

I will hear you out, word for word
Take your time, there's no rush
Speak to me and I'll hush

I never have much to say
The floor is all yours, if that's okay
Hanging onto your every word
Even if it will bring tears, I'm all ears
I'll swallow all of your fears

Freedom you will find
In me you can confide
Bear the burdens you bottle inside
Lay out your inhibitions and leave them to die

Speak of what has long been unsaid
Open your soul to someone who cares, instead
I care wholeheartedly
What has long haunted thee?

In for a wild ride. A mere goddess. Hair of fire and eyes that just pierce right through. Nights of bliss are at hand. Her sensuous aroma beckoning me to come closer. Seducing me with her ever so enticing eyes. Mesmerized beyond belief. Awestruck by her every word she had spoken. Her voice sending seductive chills down my spine. I was begging for more. I couldn't let this night of perfection to end. I wanted us to be more than friends. Just forget who we were. And let go of ourselves within each other. Unwind and delve deep down into our souls. Indulge in the potential good times. And don't worry about what happens after it all. Just let it happen. Let this energy play out through. It has long been built up. And it has long been overdue. To be released at last. No holding back. No inhibitions. Shyness devoured. Blossoming like a flower. A rebirth of confidence. Reborn to be burst free from the clutches of morality. Gone are the days of lonely. My black cloud has gone astray. Now I'm in cloud nine. Senses heightened. Glad to be alive. Despair has fled off and away into obscurity. Never to be seen again. Unless, I choose it to be...

Fixated on you
My attention is entrapped by your beauty
Drowning you in compliments
Are they too much?
Let me know how you like it
I'll try my best to fight it
Wanting to kiss every inch of you
Yearning to feel your delicate touch
My every wish and desire holds a piece of you
Always and forever you'll be in my memory
Even if it's just a fleeting glance
Even if it's just one night
Within my mind you dance
To a soft tune of delight
Swaying to the playful melody
Moving to the beat
In the heat of the night
Getting carried away
I start to sweat
Body's wet
Eye to eye
Lost within the moment
Of bliss
We kiss
Losing ourselves within each other
A serene escape
Paradise

You're my drug of choice
You get me high
You help me reach cloud nine
I never want to come back down
Paradise is you, you're my heaven
You're everything I've ever dreamed of
You're the gift that keeps on giving
You're my muse that keeps me going

In high regard...
I don't think I could ever set you down
I am awestruck by your natural beauty
Mesmerized by your beautiful purity
In constant admiration daily
I could never forget you

Unforgettable, without question
You help free me away from my insecurities
I open up and feel truly myself with you by my side
I could never let you go
