My All



it was a risk I gather, to follow my heart
as I can't find my way back to before
nor would I want to,
not really, for I've known such happiness here
in the light of your love
experienced pure joy
ecstasy even,
scattered with storms, unexpectedly
when those dark clouds loomed large on that horizon
but that's life,
together we'll manage, somehow
I'm here for the long term, I've decided
regardless,
it's you and no other ...

many have tried, both in your life and mine
yet, here we are
still standing, our eyes on tomorrow
great expectations await,
let us gather our courage
strengthen our resolve,
and toss out those nagging suspicions
spiked with doubt,
sprinkled with fear ...

take my hand with your heart
I'm yours for the asking
you're all I can see and believe in,
scary, it's true
I'm petrified,
but so willing to be here with you
in the smiles of our love,
the truth of our being
tell me, you feel this way, too ...

there's no other that sends my heart racing
the thought of you has captured my soul,
your kiss, inexplicable
your touch, amazing
your love,
my true treasure
my all ...

Destiny's Plea



and what if I needed you, my love
to be strong if I wavered inside
unsure of these steps, shaky at best
would you wrap your strong arms around me,
assuring us all would be well
that together, we'd make it, somehow
telling me you understood my heartache
my issues with trust,
my history with you ...

are you ready to face this reality
blow past misunderstandings, misspoken words
can we rise above the furor besides
that threatens with menacing eyes,
can we try once again
to soar higher,
confident of one thing and that's us,
regardless ...

we now hold this flicker of flame, so tender
seeking to know the wonder,
struggling to face life's uncertainties
tainted, without a doubt
yet willing to explore
bust open that door,
we've both run to and previously paused ...

watching our wishes glide on a feather
almost beyond our reach
but not completely,
take my hand
hold my heart,
be the man I know and desire
I'll be the woman your dreams speak of,
and together we'll flow
where we need to be
we'll take our time,
grateful for destiny’s plea ...
