The coming of dawn
And my mind lingers on
The set of hopes and dreams
We keep building upon
With every touch of your hand
I better understand
How much of yourself
You give to our plans
These long, quiet nights
Spent bathed in your light
Still living on your essence
Waiting for the time to be right
I want you to know
As we learn and we grow
That your arms are my home
There is no place I'd rather go

It was a dark and stormy night
Oceans of tears I didn't want you to taste
My face wet with confusion and fright
Waking you from your slumber in haste
I kept thinking that his ship was sailing
While I'm here simply sinking
As the life I built drifted away
Was I letting myself drown
Was I letting you down?
But the truth is that my saving grace
Is your loving touch and your beautiful face
We just need to be alone
Someplace safe where we can be at home
You've set us upon a course
That leaves little room for remorse
I just need to float away with you
A little boat to spend the days with you
To seek the bliss we are sure to find
Once I can rest my troubled mind

A hazy early morning clears
Slowly opening weary eyes
Realizing you're not here
Counting the seconds
as they drag by
And as I fell to sleep
I imagined you were there
With me
I recalled the time
Before you were really mine
When all we had
Was a melting phone line
And it dawned on me
How amazing life can be
While I cherish this single, silent tear
I still wish you were here

Intensity
The feeling you give me
When your eyes penetrate my layers
Suspended and upside-down like my world
Peeling away my defenses
Making me feel like a little girl
You scan the canvas of my every flaw
Inhibitions torn open and ****** raw
Like a pair of ******* taken off with your teeth
An incredible tease and eventual relief
As you move in for your sensual ****
My body responds to each and every thrill
Intensity
Beyond belief

I listened to the gentle throbbing
of your heart beneath my head
As we settled into the afterglow
in the warmth of your bed
As we lie there together, just breathing
I thought to myself
how I had less of a need
for anything else
I doesn't take lots of money
to make things okay
It just takes communication
to keep my worried heart at bay
And it doesn't take diamonds
to prove ones devotion
Our love has kept us together
Despite miles or mountains or oceans
It doesn't take words
spilled from unsure mouths
Or a luxurious life
Or a big, fancy house
It will only take time
because we deserve and need it so
For my healing and for security
To honor our love and let it grow
Time to create memories
that we will look back on and sigh
Time to experience and enjoy each other
and more time to laugh until we cry

The moon is breathtaking
Silent and bright
A silver glow
Against the black canvas of night
Still and calm
Full of positive light
And at the same time
A different moon collides
Thrashing and angry
Tearing at my insides
Blood ritual of womanhood
A kind of pain I cannot abide
Retrograde
A lunar eclipse
Nowhere near as meaningful
as standing in the moonlight
Your hands on my wide hips
Whispers
Warm and reassuring
And a kiss from your lips

Your love eclipses everything.

I know your heart
"like the back of my hand"
You have become
the biggest part of my plans
When I feel weak,
will you understand?
"Are you strong enough to be my man?"
These days are dark
but you're my light
You help me through
and set things right
And sometimes
I feel too weak to stand
Am I strong enough
to hold your hand?
But then I remember
who we are
You're the companion moon
to my every star
And we stay connected
Near or far
I am with you
Because of who you are
