Your gaze-
   it lingered long.
Amazed-
   your hand so strong,
Upon my back,
Across my shoulder blade-
What a loving attempt you made!

08/2010

Venus' bright light is flashing softly in the sky
Behind the streams of clouds and July days as they pass by;
And one more day that I recall a smile fair and kind
Oh, what a kiss would I bestow-
   on those lips I know-
   the very lips that spread so wide.

August is upon me and the silence still remains
And littered in between the stars are clouds that carry rain;
Love is just a far cry out into the empty space
Oh, but the love I could bestow-
   if only he could know
   my very heart and my embrace.

When I swore the open sea a fire lit,
Then I knew in me 'twas He who offered it.
When desert land once desolate now laden with the dew
That gathers to a current, it's He who makes it new.

I've been feeling very conflicted over something for a long time, and- whether or not I have any say in the circumstances of my life- now that I know how I feel, I have peace about it and freedom to love with my whole heart.
