Your glory
Keeps me tethered and tethered and tethered to you ..

My love for you like the sun
Like the stars as they shine
As the moon is so bright
A fire blazing deep within my soul it cannot be extinguished
Oceans deep within my soul; your waves keep me afloat.. the oxygen I need to breathe

Like butterflies up in the air in the sky so blue ...
I am floating ...

Outer space like a blanket covering I feel your protection...

My love for you like the endless darkness that surrounds us & you the star, twinkles ever so brightly in the vastness of it all...

Splendid.

Like a city on a hill ever so bright ...
I am but a moth drawn to your brilliant flame & you my love are the light, the sun & the moon your glory.. keeping me tethered to you.
Would you believe me if I told you, love makes the world go round?

Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps on the back
Of the wind and floats downstream
Till the current ends and dips his wing
In the orange suns rays
And dares to claim the sky.

But a BIRD that stalks down his narrow cage
Can seldom see through his bars of rage
His wings are clipped and his feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
Of things unknown but longed for still
And his tune is heard on the distant hill for
The caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
And the trade winds soft through
The sighing trees
And the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright
Lawn and he names the sky his own.

But a caged BIRD stands on the grave of dreams
His shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
His wings are clipped and his feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with
A fearful trill of things unknown
But longed for still and his
Tune is heard on the distant hill
For the caged bird sings of freedom.

I’m afraid of the cold because it reminds me of how lonely I am
No one to warm me up I cling to an empty bed
My pillow, my cuddle buddy, soaking all my tears up

I just wanted a warm body but I won’t give a piece of my soul for it
Or hell I might as well be ******

What would I do for love?

I’d rather stay in my loneliness than have someone use me or worst break my heart

So I cling to my pillow, my heart in tact.
I let the emptiness fill me up like a ***** sadness I cannot wash away

I am afraid of the cold, because it reminds me of how lonely I am.
However because of this, I am more hopeful than ever
Because I know, no matter how cold it gets, the rain has to stop at some point to make way for the rainbow
Just as the sun will always find a way to penetrate the dark clouds & clear a black sky

So I know the cold I feel is not forever, my sun will come shining through and warm me up soon.

I just want to know if you’re thinking of me as much as I am thinking of you.
