When you know...

LOVE

When it has consumed your sensibility beyond doubts
And worries and fear
When you cannot deny it and let it wash over you and push you
Over the edge
Beyond madness
Out of the reach
Of heavens promises
And hells temptations
Down to the center
Of the depths of its raging sea
Drowning there
In its boiling waters
When you have only stopped
Falling long enough
To know you have
Fallen
Completely
Madly
Impossibly
In love
And then continue
To fall even
Further
Faster
Through its bottom
Again and again
When you have
No choice
Your soul
Your heart
Your dreams
No longer yours
To control
When you know...

LOVE

By all means possible
Dance with it
Sleep with it
Dream with it
Crumble the mountains
Drain the ocean and seas
Steal the stars and moon and sun
To light the way through your journey
For darkness is waiting to swallow and steal it away
The odds are never in your favor
The chances are always stacked againt you
The dice loaded
The cards marked
When you know...

LOVE

Reach and stretch
Trust and belive
Against logic
And sense
And science
Reach across oceans
Stretch over mountains
Belive through doubts
Trust beyond darkness
Find me
Reaching
And stretching
Trusting
And beliving
Through the darkness
And doubt
Over mountains
Across oceans
When you know
When I know...
